Year 10 Set 1-3

Imagine you are one of the characters in An Inspector Calls. Write a narrative entitled, A time I felt scared.' Remember to use the narrative writing skills you learned at the start of the year. You have already written this narrative from YOUR point of view earlier in the year. Now you must pretend you’re someone else.

- Having only 2-3 developed characters. - First person- capture the voice of the narrator. - Using dialogue to create characters. - Show not tell emotion. - Build up to a climax- the scary thing that happens. - Think about what you want your reader to feel.

Year 10 Set 4-5

Imagine you Mr Birling in An Inspector Calls. Write a narrative entitled, A time I felt scared.' Remember to use the narrative writing skills you learned at the start of the year. You have already written this narrative from YOUR point of view earlier in the year. Now you must pretend you’re Mr Birling. I have written you prompts for what you can write.

Describe what you

were doing before

the Inspector

arrived. Why are

you happy about

the engagement?

What were you

talking to your

family about?

We were having a lovely evening. Simply

lovely. Gerald Croft, you know, THE Croft

family, is to marry my daughter and

obviously we were having a lovely

celebration.

What did you first

think of the

Inspector? What

does he look like?

Recount your first

conversation with

him.

Then that blasted man arrived. When I first

saw him I thought…

What were you

worried about?

Summarise what

happened with each

interrogation.

Remember: you’re

not worried about

Eva- you’re worried

As the night went on, I began to feel a bit

worried.

about your

reputation.

You offered the

Inspector money to

keep quiet but he

refused. This is

when you really

begin to panic.

What do you think

will happen next-

think about your

chances of a

knighthood, your

business, The Croft

Family and your

reputation.

“Look, Inspector - I'd give thousands - yes,

thousands-” I said weakly to the Inspector.

“You’re offering money at the wrong time Mr

Birling.” He replied, and I felt my knees begin to

shake.

1. Remove the glass plate in the base of the microwave and replace with an upturned ceramic plate. You

want your chocolate to stay still in this experiment.

2. Place the chocolate in the middle of the plate.

3. Turn on the microwave and heat the chocolate until it melts in 2 or 3 places. This should take about 20

seconds (microwave dependent)

4. Using gloves, and with adult supervision, carefully remove the plate from the microwave.

5. Measure the distance, in centimetres, between the melted spots on the chocolate bar.

6. The distance you measured is half a wavelength. Multiply this number by two and then by the frequency

of the microwave you are using. This can be found on the outside/back of the machine. This number is the

speed of light in centimetres per second.

Take a picture and add to Google Classroom to get 10 credits on your return to school. There are a bonus 5

RE

Be-the-teacher RE GCSE

Miss Weaver has had a terrible quarantine week...

Poor Miss Weaver had a nasty accident, she was on her state approved

walk of the day when she fell. The fall involved a ladder, a squirrel and a

banana skin.

Well she woke up and she had … What you call it…

that thing… am? Amena? Anema? Ahhh amnesia!

Well I am sure you can all agree that this is nothing less than a DISASTER.

A highly unlikely, almost totally improbable, nightmare.

Who is going to create her revision lessons? Who will ensure that lessons

are of a top notch quality like her are?

After much deliberation You are going to have to teach each other.

I need you to help the RE department out and plan a revision lesson of your choice

on one of the following topics:

Christianity Topics Islam Topics

Pilgrimages Belief in life after death

Sacraments Importance of crime

Life after death 5 Roots for Shi’a Muslims

Creation and scientific

views on creation

Allah’s nature

Holy Week Predestination

Christmas and Easter Angels

Abortion/Euthanasia Forgiveness

The sheet labelled INSTRUCTIONS will

tell you something about how teachers

think, and what you need to do. It’s

important that you read this fully. The

sheet labelled TOP TIPS AND

SUGGESTIONS will also help you a lot, so

take time to read that as well.

Being a teacher is a big responsibility but

we know you can do it. GOOD LUCK!!

Instructions

Time... Delivery: You need to create 2 lessons that must last 60 minutes and

they must include a Purple Zone that lasts at least 10 minutes.

Learning styles

When teachers are preparing their lessons, they’re thinking about all

the different things that will make the lesson successful. One thing to think about is meeting

the different learning styles of students. These are:

Visual: what part(s) of my lesson will be available for students to see/watch?

Auditory: what part(s) of my lesson will be available to hear/listen to?

Kinaesthetic: what part(s) of my lesson can the students take part in, through movement,

acting, creative work etc?

This is a lot to think about, but it becomes second nature after a while. You’ll need to make

sure that your lesson has something that meets all of these learning styles as well. The

good thing is that it encourages you to be more creative with your tasks, teaching style and

activities.

Resources

Of course your lesson will be fantastic, we know that. But

when all the fun visual, auditory and kinaesthetic stuff is

over, how much will people remember about what you

taught? Probably a lot, possibly very little. For this reason,

you may want to prepare a teaching resource: something

that students can take away with them and read or fill in

later on.

And most importantly what will you test people on during the

Purple Zone? When I plan my lessons (well I think this is correct) I usually start by planning

my Purple Zone, where do I want my class to end up. This then helps me plan the rest of my

lesson.

Oh and I forgot to mention. You cannot use the internet for this. You can use PowerPoint or a

Word document, but no internet. So think carefully on how you will present the lessons to

me.

Computer Science

It’s important that you practice your programming skills over Easter. When we get back to school you will have your

programming project to complete.

Essential skills

Below is a list of programming skills we aim to mostly cover between years 7 and 11 in computing and computer science. If you

feel you are ahead, or behind, take a look through the list and practise the skills yourself. There are many resources online,

especially on YouTube, that explain how to use Python and provide ideas for projects and tasks.

Most of these skills can be achieved by programming a console application (like in repl.it), Thonny (available free for download)

or Pycharm.

Basic

Outputting text to the console or a text label

Declaring string variables

Getting a user input from the console or a text box

Joining strings together (concatenating)

Performing IF statements testing for equality

Declaring integer variables

Performing calculations using Integers

Performing IF statements using the operators >, >=,

Spend at least two hours per week practicing your programming skills and improving your use of the Python programming

language.

Important: learn how to use Google properly. Every programmer uses Google when they don't know how to achieve something.

Using the correct search criteria will bring you the correct results. For example:

Good: "C# timer on key press"

Bad: "How do I create a program to see how quickly someone presses a button?"

Your task

Choose at least one of these programming projects to complete over Easter. Screenshot your code and your program into your

evidence document and hand it in.

Project 1 - Python Challenge (http://www.pythonchallenge.com/)

Difficulty:

Python Challenge is a game in which each level can be solved by a bit of (Python) programming. It is a set of riddles that require

a little bit of Python programming to be solved. The solutions are entered by changing the address of the page (URL). You get

used to the idea pretty fast after solving the first few levels. See which level you can get up to. Paste screenshots of your code

into your project evidence document.

Project 2 - Fizz Buzz

Difficulty:

Code a solution to the Fizz Buzz problem.

Copy and paste your code, and a screenshot of it working, into your Easter programming project evidence document.

Project 3 - Create a Python black jack game

Difficulty:

http://www.pythonchallenge.com/https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=fizz+buzz

Your task is to create 21 using Python following the algorithm provided. The program is started for you.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K1YCvNpz6Lg_L5so-DKJyDy0O2Y9YkM4/view?usp=sharing
