Wednesday 25th August

Apparently there were some issues with the comments application yesterday. As a result we'll spend today's lesson reviewing yesterday's work. BUT FIRST!

Go to http://www.freerice.com/index.php and play around for 10-15. Remember to record the words you get wrong in your word document. Today too I'd like you to post as a comment one word which you encounter and use it in a sentence.

Remember too that you should be playing with English Vocabulary and NOT the Geography or Mathematics subjects!

  1. If you're REALLY clever (like BlackMax) you may wish to use your newly learned word in a poem. Let's say ONE stanza OR even a short limerick?

    E.G. WORD = Cascade

    To come to English class; today I was afraid,
    Tears ran all down my face; like a waterfall CASCADE.
    I haven't done my homework; I hope Sir doesn't mind
    Come to think of it, forget it; he can kiss my behind!

  2. After love and fear, there's pride;
    After tears, the night;
    After DETACH, we fight

    Wants to be a night clubber

    Dealing drugs soft as rubber

  10. He waits alone, amidst the cold and snow,
    Waiting patiently for that familiar sound.
    Where have they gone to...he does not know,
    Missing the love, he once had found.
    He heard a voice, that of a man,
    Then a loud HOWL, and a yelping cry.
    The human spoke of a sickening plan,
    Of killing- but for what, the wolf knows not why.

  12. Crepuscule = twilight
    A man sits by his car on a warm summers evening
    As the last glint of sunlight shimmers on the water
    The beach quickly empties the lights fill the skies
    As crepuscule blankets the beach

  13. -Archaic = Ancient
    -Quenching = Destroying

    Soulless he fell before me;
    QUENCHING his ravenous thirst,
    wrapped me around his ARCHAIC chair
    and gave me his worse.

  21. shifty - sneaky

    The asians will sleep, the aussies will have a snag
    A SHIFTY lebo will sneak
    Across the whole of Cabramatta and to Cronulla
    To take a little peak

    And what he finds is a huge surprise in Bankstown
    It was the biggest V8 SSS Nissan Pulsar with Twin turbo and chrome rims
    He snuck inside, hotwired the car
    And called his cuzins for a joyride
    Walla they had a hecktic time
