Language Features

Tuesday 2/8/16

9MD

P3

This week we are going to be exploring language features. We will be learning to identify them, find our own examples and begin to use them for impact in our own creative writing.
  Today we will be looking at some great examples through music lyrics.  This will help you to learn how to identify the feature being used, describe the feature and explain how it contributes to a powerful piece of writing or a great song.

I would like to be able to finish conferencing with you about your formal writing, thanks for getting on with your own tasks in a responsible manner that enables me to work individually with students.
