Should Darleks be Allowed to live on Earth? Since the arrival of the Daleks on this planet, there has been much discussion about whether or not they should be allowed to live on Earth. This raging controversy is of vital importance because the Daleks have made an application for residency to the world’s parliament. Doctor Who, the famous Time Lord, has argued that the Daleks might be allowed to stay because they could be used as a force for good. The Doctor has suggested that by changing the Dalek’s basic DNA, a new breed could be created. There a several reasons why this might be beneficial. First, they would act as ideal defenders in any intergalactic battle. Furthermore, the Daleks are tireless workers and totally fearless. This means that they might be prepared to work in areas that are dangerous. Moreover, The Doctor argues that their skill in technology would help the Earth considerably. On the other hand, the large majority of people on planet Earth do not believe that the Daleks should be allowed to stay. First of all, they point to the fact that when the Daleks have previously visited, they have attempted to exterminate all other life forms. Furthermore, they add that these cyborgs from the planet Skaro have been waging war around the galaxy. Additionally, the Daleks are known to have no compassion and only feel hate. Having considered the arguments from both sides, I personally believe that the Daleks should not be allowed to stay on Earth as the risk is too great. Whilst the Doctor is usually right and has saved the galaxy on many occasions, I have concluded that perhaps he has been influenced in some way by these evil creatures!

Immersion in the text We will be working on three activities today: 1. Cloze procedure 2. What is good writing? 3. Sequencing text activity

Please send me a copy of your work. Thank you d. marshall@gf. kwestacademy. com Cloze procedure Write this out neatly and fill in the blanks with appropriate word/words. ___________ there is a hardcore section of the community who think that the idea of aliens visiting King’s Lynn is ridiculous. __________, these people believe that it is hard enough to encourage visitors from local towns to visit and shop, let alone anyone from a million light years away! ___________they believe that the crop circles are man-made _______ , they suggest that sightings of spaceships are caused by atmospheric pressure changes __________ they dismiss reports of alien abduction as being impossible.

What is good writing? Read the three texts below. • Which one do you think is the most persuasive? • Why? Text A: The most compelling argument against only providing healthy food at lunchtime is that many of us just don’t want to eat it. When you are picturing a luscious hamburger encircled by crisp golden chips’ it’s really depressing to know that all you have to choose from is limp lettuce leaves surrounded by assorted cold crunchy so-called healthy options. It’s enough to make you want to give up eating. Text B: Well, most of us are fed up with having to eat salad and vegetables and healthy stuff like that all the time because it’s like boring and then you don’t want to be bothered with eating it and then you think why can’t I have crisps and chocolate. Text C: A key problem with only providing healthy food at lunchtime is that many of us do not like it. We would much prefer to have some of our favourite foods like hamburgers, pizza, chips and chocolate, rather than having to eat salad and fruit all the time.

Please send me a copy of your work. Thank you d. marshall@gf. kwestacademy. com Sequencing text activity Read through these paragraphs. They have not in the correct order. Can you put them in the correct order? On the other hand, some people argue that Jack was on the edge of starvation and was forced to steal in order to save his dying mother. Furthermore, it could be argued that the giant was a danger to the local area and had been responsible for stealing sheep and cattle to feed himself and his wife, Indeed, some people believe that Jack should be further rewarded for ridding the locality of this terrible creature. Having considered all the arguments, I believe that while stealing should normally be punished, on this occasion Jack acted in the best interests of his family and the local area. Many people think that Jack should be sent to jail because he stole the giant’s magical goose that lays golden eggs. Additionally, he returned to the giant’s castle and took a never-ending purse plus the giant’s talking harp. Furthermore, he was responsible for killing the giant. We have been discussing whether or not Jack should have been imprisoned for theft.
