Main part of the lesson – adding and subtracting decimals – problem solving
Following on from yesterday’s lesson, today we are going to apply what we know to solve
problems. Remember, problems are just little stories with numbers. You just need to take
note of the numbers and the key words which help you identify whether you need to add
or subtract. On the next two pages, there is a silver set of questions and a gold set. If you
feel very confident about decimal numbers, go straight to gold.

Activity 1: Yesterday you explored formal and informal language. Today we are going to
look closely at formal and informal language in every day pieces of writing. This will lead on
to you planning and writing your own newspaper article. To begin with, look at the
examples of newspaper articles below. For each article, use the checklist, attached
separately as a pdf, to identify the features.

Article 1:

       Tumbling Trainers cause Terror for Teenager.
A young boy has been sent to a correctional facility following a bizarre
crime.

Yesterday, Stanley Yelnats (14) was sentenced to 18 months work at Camp Green
Lake despite trying to convince the authorities of his innocence. The Texas born boy
was taken immediately to the camp following his conviction.

The unpopular, overweight boy has been convicted for the theft of Clyde
Livingston's famous trainers; the well-known baseball player's trainers were taken
from a homeless shelter. In a bizarre court hearing, Yelnats claimed that the trainers
had been thrown from a bridge and hit him on the head whilst he was walking home
from school. Making his story more unbelievable, he later told the court that he had
sniffed them before deciding to take them home to his Dad who (apparently) is trying
to find a cure for smelly feet!

Unfortunately for the 14 year old, the police caught up with him as he was walking
home and he was arrested immediately and taken to the police station. Later, when
he was taken back to his family home his parents and grandfather are said to have
been bewildered, claiming that the family is under a curse and never has any good
luck.

Having been found in possession of the trainers, Yelnats was sure to be found guilty
anyway but the conviction was made even more likely after a witness provided vital
evidence. A 34-year-old female saw the theft and described the culprit as 'Around
14 years old, curly brown hair and a mole on his face,' a description matching
Yelnats exactly.

VIPERS lesson:
Our focus for this week is Inference.
Activity 1:
In the extract, ‘Girl who turned into a tree’, the author uses a huge array of language
devices to infer meaning. Look at the extract below and answer the following questions:

   1) What device does the author use most often to create meaning?

   2) What underlying messages do you think the author wants to express?

3) How does Daphne feel about the library? How do you know?

4) ‘It is a library but also not. A library of knots.’ How does the author use homophones to
   create meaning?

5) ‘Black Ebony entombs the Horror. Bright Pine hugs the Poems, black-brown Cedar
   wraps the Mysteries, as broad Oak clasps the Histories.’ Look at the verb choices
   highlighted. Why do you think the author chose these? Do the types of wood match
   the verb choices?
