English - World Book Day Activity 2

LO: To respond to the virtual author event

I would like you to produce a piece of work about the virtual author visit we attended this morning.

It could be, for example:

• a poster about what the author taught us
• a PowerPoint presentation about whales, or the author Struan Murray
• a fictional news report about the whale on the roof
• a model of the whale on the roof
• a piece of art inspired by the virtual visit or chapter 1 (see yesterday's activity)
• a piece of writing such as a poem or short story
• a video of you presenting any of the above

I would like to create a display with this work when we come back to school, so make sure you have checked all of your spelling and punctuation and done the best work that you can.
