Task 1: Explanation


3

1). Have a good look to see the different themes for each room.

2). Play some of the warm up games – maybe by yourself, with an adult or your siblings.

3). Write an explanation of which room you would like to stay in – focus on explaining your ideas with detail and

description.

Warm up games

Make a list of 10 things you can spot in the picture – if you are playing against someone else, try to find things they

may not have spotted. You could score a point for everything you have that is different.

I Spy… What can you see in this picture? Give them 5 seconds to spot the item – if they don’t get it, you score the

point!

Yes & No game - Choose something in the picture and see if your partner can guess it. They can only ask ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions – you decide how many questions they’re allowed to ask! Extra Questions to think about Where do you think this treehouse is? Who built it? Who lives in it? Who owns it? Which room would you like to stay in? Once you have chosen your room, think of the reasons WHY you want to stay there. Try to make your explanations

as detailed and descriptive as you can.

Use this planning grid to help, we have included this example to help you add detail to your ideas:

Example - Chosen Room: Library

Room Feature Reason Description

At the top of the house High up and far away from everyone else

Wonderful tranquillity Ignoring the hustle and bustle

Chosen Room:

Room Feature Reason Description

Now write your explanation of which room in the tree house you would like to stay in.

Take care with capital letters, full stops, commas and spellings!

Task 3 – History – Different houses through history

1. Read the guidance below.

2. Look carefully at the at flash card example.

3. Choose 3 or more historical eras and research their houses.

4. Create 3 or more flash cards.

Today we would like you to learn about how houses have evolved over time focusing on their structure and

appearance (tomorrow we will look at inside the house).

We would ideally like you to focus your learning on houses in our local area (South England).

You will need to create at least 3 flashcards using the layout given. Here is an example to help you:

Some tips:

When researching remember to write the information in your OWN words.

You can include a picture from the internet or you can draw your own, either is fine.

Try to include as much detail as you can and explain any vocabulary. For example, in the above flash card, the term

‘wattle and daub’ has been explained as some people may not know what this is.

Edit the format below OR recreate it using pencil and paper, again either is fine!

Some key eras you could think about are:

- Romans

- Saxons

- Viking

- Norman

- Tudors

- Georgian

- Victorian

- Modern day

3. Research through internet and discuss with family and friends.

4. Produce basic timelines to show the evolution of your chosen items.

Think about how our homes have changed overtime on the inside.

Below is a list of suggested items and areas you might want to explore. However, you can choose whatever you

would like. Please choose at least 2 items to learn about!

You will need to research your chosen items. This can be done through the internet, conversations with friends or

families, particularly those who may have used older versions of these in the past or by looking at any old items you

may have at home.

Using what you have learnt, create a basic timeline to show the evolution of your items from past to present day.

Use images and writing to help show off everything you have found out.

Here is an example below to help you:

List of ideas:

Iron , Fridge, Freezer, Washing Machine, Coffee Machine, Heating, TV, Radio, Oven, Computer, Vacuum Cleaner, Dish

Washer.

Few reminders:

• If you use research from the internet please make sure you write this in your OWN words.

• Please remember to present your work NEATLY and CLEARLY.

Task 7: Persuasive Writing - selling your house! Upload your work to Seesaw

Yesterday, you designed the ideal house for your chosen creature. Today you need to convince them to buy it! 1). Plan the most important reasons they should buy your design. 2). Write your persuasive sales pitch – using all of the key skills. 3). Upload your work to Seesaw – this could be a photo of your written work or a photo of your design and then you record your sales pitch over the top. Planning - Choose your 3 best features here:

Feature Reason it is good Convince me!

Example

Huge door way Get in and out easily Easy access to your own home.

Won’t bang your head.

Easy for monster friends to visit

Key Skills for writing

Paragraphing Conjunctions Precise, Persuasive Language

Introduction – why should they read/ listen? 3 main paragraphs – one for each of your ideas Conclusion – what do you want them to do now?

Use a range of conjunctions to help you really explain your ideas. Remember, they can go at the beginning or in the middle of sentences.

although furthermore however in addition as since where as

despite the fact whether in order

, think carefully about your commas to separate clauses

Make your house sound great – with precise language! Telling me ‘ it has an awesome door, brilliant kitchen and fantastic stairway’ – doesn’t actually tell me anything about the house. The delicate flowers around the doorway; the brightly coloured kitchen; the grand, sweeping stairway tells me much more!

Example paragraph: This would be my first main idea after my introduction

When you walk up to this bright, eye-catching house, the first thing you would notice is the

huge oak door! This makes it absolutely perfect for you as you will be able to enter your

grand house with ease every day. Can you imagine having to bend down just to enter your own

home? What a terrible thing that would be. Whether it is to save your back or to avoid

bumping your head, the height is a necessity for you. This vast, sturdy doorway will be a

welcoming entrance if you invite guests into your brand new home for a monster party - they

will also be able to walk in comfortably.

Write your sales pitch neatly in your book, using all of these skills. Then upload your work to Seesaw.

3. Write a setting description about your chosen location.

What A Good One Looks Like: Setting description

The gloomy, desolate ruin that had once belonged to the richest man in the village nearly a hundred years ago

stood alone in the deepest part of the sinister forest. The pathway up to the house seemed to be guarded by rows

of tall trees, whose wooden fingers appeared to reach out to snare those who were foolish enough to wander too

close to the house. The cold, sharp wind howled through the shattered window frames, making it seem as though

the house itself was moaning and groaning. There had been legends in the village that those who dared step

inside the house, who dared enter its dark chambers and who dared disturb its slumber were never seen of again.

The house had been left alone for decades. No one had gone anywhere near even the forest were the house stood

in years. But then one night, on the coldest day of the year, a light flickered on in one of the rooms.
