We have been uploading resources each week since we had to close, which you can look back at. In this Power. Point you will find a selection of tasks for English, maths, science and languages; this week we are focusing on German. These lessons follow on from last week (except for German, where you will need to look back to 18. 05. 20) and we hope you enjoy the tasks. We have also added some weblinks for you to explore, where you will find other subjects and suggestions of activities to try. If you have any difficulties or need any guidance, please get in touch: email Jude on jude. clark@hhe. nottingham. sch. uk and we will get back to you. You may have lots of other tasks that have been set by your own school – that’s fine. Remember that these are only suggestions. If you have other things to do or doing these activities doesn’t feel right for you at the moment, THAT IS FINE.

Y 7 Amazing Adventures Lesson 3 - settings in adventure stories

The choice of setting is extremely important when writing a story. The great thing about an adventure story is that you can let your imagination run wild! A writer’s choice of setting helps create an expectation or impression for the reader of what might happen to the protagonist (main character), or helps them to sympathise with the characters’ suffering. Your story could be set on Earth, maybe after an apocalypse, nuclear war, a world-wide pandemic/disease, or an alien invasion. Or it could be set in a remote part of the planet, such as a tropical island, in the middle of the ocean or the Antarctic. Or, it could be set somewhere completely ordinary and familiar! However, your story could be set ‘elsewhere’: another planet or somewhere not yet discovered by humans. This would allow you to really use your imagination! This week, you are going to look at some examples of adventure settings in fiction. This will help you prepare for creating your own adventure setting next week. Look at the pictures to give you an idea:

Setting: The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins Katniss Everdeen is the protagonist (main character) in ‘The Hunger Games’. It is set in the future, in a country called Panem. She lives in the poorest area called District 12. Watch the first 30 seconds of the film trailerhttps: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=mfmr. Pu 43 DF 8 What is your first impression of District 12? Would you like to live there- why (not)? Now read the description of the same setting from the novel on the next slide…

‘The Hunger Games’- Katniss describes her home in District 12 Our house is almost at the edge of the seam. I only have to pass a few gates to reach the scruffy field called the Meadow. Separating the meadow from the woods, in fact enclosing all of District 12, is a high chain-link fence topped with barbed wire loops. In theory, it’s supposed to be electrified twenty-four hours a day as a deterrent to the predators that live in the woods – packs of wild dogs, lone cougars, bears – that used to threaten our streets. But since we’re lucky to get two or three hours of electricity in the evenings, it’s usually safe to touch. Even so, I always take a moment to listen carefully for the hum that means the fence is live. Right now, it’s silent as a stone. Concealed by a clump of bushes, I flatten out on my belly and slide under a meter-long stretch that’s been loose for years. There are several other weak spots in the fence, but this one is so close to home I almost always enter the woods here. As soon as I’m in the trees, I retrieve a bow and sheath of arrows from a hollow log. Electrified or not, the fence has been successful at keeping the flesh-eaters out of District 12. Inside the woods they roam freely, and there added concerns like venomous snakes, rabid animals, and no real paths to follow. But there’s also food if you know how to find it. My father knew and he taught me some ways before he was blown to bits in a mine explosion. There was nothing left of him to bury. I was eleven then. Five years later, I still wake up screaming for him to run. In the woods waits the only person with whom I can be myself. Gale. I can feel the muscles in my face relaxing, my pace quickening as I climb the hills to our place, a rock ledge overlooking a valley. A thicket of berry bushes protect it from unwanted eyes. The sight of him waiting there brings on a smile. Gale says I never smile except in the woods.

TASKS: Read The Hunger Games extract on the previous slide. Look for and highlight these language features used by the author to describe the setting: o Simile o 3 -part lists (there are two to find!) o Alliteration o Onomatopoeia (a word that sounds like the noise it makes, e. g. Bang!) o Imagery o Personification (giving human characteristics to something non-human) CHALLENGE: How does the narrator (Katniss Everdeen) feel about the setting? Explain your answer and include quotes in your response.

Setting: The Chronicles of Narnia – C. S. Lewis ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ are a series of fantasy books set in the fictional world of Narnia, a place full of magic, mythical beasts and talking animals. It tells the story of four ordinary children: Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund Pevensie, who have been evacuated to the English countryside from London following the outbreak of World War Two. They discover a wardrobe in Professor Digory Kirke’s house that leads to the magical land of Narnia. Watch the film trailer https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=l. WKj 41 HZBz. M After 1 minute 16 seconds, you will see the Kingdom of Narnia- what are your first impressions? Now read a description of Narnia on the next slide-

Every moment the patches of green grew bigger and the patches of snow grew smaller. Every moment more and more of the trees shook off their robes of snow. Soon, wherever you looked, instead of white shapes you saw the dark green of firs or the black prickly branches of bare oaks and beeches and elms. Then the mist turned from white to gold and presently cleared away altogether. Shafts of delicious sunlight struck down on to the forest floor and overhead you could see a blue sky between the treetops. Soon there were more wonderful things happening. Coming suddenly round a corner into a glade of silver birch trees, Edmund saw the ground covered in all directions with little yellow flowers. The noise of water grew louder. Presently they crossed a stream. Beyond it they found snowdrops growing. Only five minutes later, Edmund noticed a dozen crocuses growing round the foot of an old tree - gold and purple and white. Then came a sound even more delicious than the sound of the water. Close beside the path they were following, a bird suddenly chirped from the branch of a tree. It was answered by the chuckle of another bird a little further off. And then, as if that had been a signal, there was chattering and chirruping in every direction, and then a moment of full song, and within five minutes the whole wood was ringing with birds' music, and wherever Edmund's eyes turned he saw birds alighting on branches, or sailing overhead or chasing one another or having their little quarrels or tidying up their feathers with their beaks. There was no trace of the fog now. The sky became bluer and bluer, and now there white clouds hurrying across it from time to time. In the wide glades there were primroses. A light breeze sprang up which scattered drops of moisture from the swaying branches and carried cool, delicious scents against the faces of the travellers. The trees began to come fully alive. The larches and birches were covered with green, the laburnums with gold. Soon the beech trees had put forth their delicate, transparent leaves. As the travellers walked under them the light also became green. A bee buzzed across their path. "This is no thaw, " said the dwarf, suddenly stopping. "This is Spring. ”

TASKS: Read the Chronicles of Narnia extract on the previous slide. . Look for and highlight these language features used by the author to describe the setting: o Imagery o Personification (giving human characteristics to something non-human) o Onomatopoeia (a word that sounds like the noise it makes, e. g. Bang!) o Alliteration CHALLENGE: How does the writer make you feel about this setting? Explain your answer and include quotes in your response.

Compare the two settings: How do the authors present the setting in these extracts? The Hunger Games Both Idea 1: The setting in this extract is dangerous and threatening. Quote 1: ‘packs of wild dogs, lone cougars, bears’ Idea 2: Quote 2: Idea 3: Quote 3: Idea 1: Both extracts are set in woodland with a focus on nature. Quote 1 (Hunger Games): ‘As soon as I’m in the trees, I retrieve a bow and sheath of arrows from a hollow log. ’ Quote 1 (Narnia): ‘the dark green of firs or the black prickly branches of bare oaks and beeches and elms. ’ The Chronicles of Narnia Idea 1: The setting in this extract is calm, tranquil and peaceful. Quote 1: ‘The sky became bluer and bluer’ Idea 2: Quote 2: Idea 3: Quote 3: EXTENSION HINT: Try to think of examples that support big ideas. i. e. the setting is dangerous, the setting is special to the speaker, the setting is isolated from the rest of the population

Plan for at least 3 areas of comparison. e. g. P 1: Both present the setting as dangerous – The Chronicles of Narnia: • Imagery (‘there was chattering and chirruping in every direction, and then a moment of full song, and within five minutes the whole wood was ringing with birds' music‘) • Personification (‘The trees began to come fully alive. ’) – The Hunger Games: • 3 part list (x 2!): (‘packs of wild dogs, lone cougars, bears’; ‘venomous snakes, rabid animals, and no real paths to follow’) • Onomatopoeia / Personification: (‘I always take a moment to listen carefully for the hum that means the fence is live’)

We know that a force can be a push, a pull or a turn. We are focusing on the turn in this learning session. For those of you who tried the bag raising investigation, the bag provided the force (weight) which turned your arm around the pivot point (your shoulder joint). We call this turning effect ‘moments’ and we measure it in Newton metres (N/m). Task: List as many examples of moments in action as possible (Think! see picture clues, open a door, visit the bathroom (wash your hands), role a toy car or watch passing traffic …) We can turn a tap on but we can also turn it off, we describe this as anticlockwise and clockwise moments. Just like with opposite and equal forces, where the moments in both directions are the same they are described as ‘balanced’. With moments this means that the object will stay still (think: a lid on a jar you just can’t open).

A seesaw is a good example of moments. The people in the diagram are balanced, the clockwise moments of the person on the right are equal to the anticlockwise moments of the person on the left. Task: Remembering the equation for moments: force x distance = moments You are going to investigate this using some monkeys and a seesaw, all of which you will make. You will need: card, pencil, scissors, pipe cleaners, string. Alternatives: no pipe cleaners, try wrapping a pencil in string, a ribbon or other fabric to stop it from being as slippery. You will need to find something to hang it from think about a stool, chair or table to hang it from Draw and cut out 5 identical monkeys. Your challenge is to balance 1 monkey on one side of the seesaw with 1 on the other side, increasing to 2, 3 and ultimately 4. Where do you have to place the monkeys to balance the moments in each direction?
