We started today with a quick quiz on apostrophes. Remember that there are different uses for the apostrophe. The purpose, though, was to draw your attention to the BBC Skillswise site which is a useful place to go to revise your writing and reading skills. It also has resources on numeracy.
We then started to look at the differences between tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. You came up with some good examples of both. You made the point that tabloids tend to focus on issues to do with celebrity and entertainment. They can often exaggerate and use emotive language. Broadsheets, on the other hand, are often more interested in world affairs and social issues. They are, you said, more informative, formal and more complex.
You started on a practice reading assessment - I'll give you feedback on that next week.
