Term+Two+holiday+homework+(July)

Your homework for these holidays is to write, write, write. You will need to produce a minimum of three extended pieces of writing (1200-1500 words) across a variety of styles and forms. Most of you have already completed one imaginative piece which can count towards your three pieces.

You do not necessarily need to write one piece in each of the three styles. However, each of your three pieces needs to be //written across a variety of styles and forms//. Remember the task we did in class when we brainstormed a variety of creative ideas for writing pieces. Also, I would encourage at least one of your pieces to be an analytical essay (expository). Don’t forget to put some strong emphasis on your vocabulary from this unit.

All writing pieces due on the first day back BEFORE SCHOOL so that I can hopefully read quite a few of them before class.

Choose from the following prompts:

Sometimes in life a seemingly insignificant event can be a catalyst for the transformation of our identity

By striving to be different to those who we oppose, we inevitably create barriers against certain groups

In times of conflict our identity and the desire to belong can be brought under duress

Often people can be torn between two worlds when their desires conflict with their need to belong

Sometimes our perception of different cultures can be challenged when we view groups from the inner circle

A strong sense of identity can enrich or challenge our desire to belong

Sometimes it is through conflict that we can discover our own identity and where we truly belong

One can be displaced from their normal way of living, however internalised values will rarely change when tested
