Word Limit: 500 -1000 words
Task: Students are to write a diary entry or internal reflection, in Oscar Wilde’s voice, keeping in mind their chosen topic focus and interweaving answers from their worksheets
Important aspects students should consider:
· Voice – Students must keep in mind they are writing as if they were Oscar Wilde, assuming his vocabulary, tone and voice. Their interpretation is entirely up to them, within reason.
· Topic Focus – Students must always focus on their chosen time period, as a lack of understanding or focus may result in a failing mark on this aspect.
· Worksheet – Students must use their responses to the questions in their worksheets to write their diary entry/reflection, showing their ability to use higher-order thinking skills by expanding the activity.
· Style – Students must show they understand the form of a diary entry/reflection by writing one in the appropriate style. Ignoring the set style for the task may result in a failing mark.
This exercise aims to:
· Enhance literacy in students as they practice a particular writing style, diary entries or reflection, and through working in a group, practicing discussion and communication skills.
· Practice higher-order thinking, as students have to synthesize their answers from the worksheets and interpret them into a diary-entry or reflection.
· Enhance numeracy in students, as they create a timeline with particular dates, and must implement these if writing a diary entry, and may be mentioned if writing a reflection.
