Thursday: Writing Task

` Great White Shark

WALT: use our senses to make our writing more interesting.

Imagine one day you have been called by SeaWorld asking you to introduce their new sea animal. Can you do the job?

Task 1: Watch the video clip on the site. Make sure you watch carefully so you can see what Great White Sharks look like, and what you might say when you are introducing them.

Task 2: Brainstorm some ideas about what you can say about a Great White Shark.

In this table, write the descriptive words that you would be able to see/hear/smell/touch/taste.

Need some help? - make sure that you are using your own words… if you happen to find a word that you don’t know the meaning of, search what it means and then you can use them in your writing!
