This week we have been writing formal letters of application to be a highwayman, in response to the Highwayman poem. These letters were written to be both formal and persuasive.
In preparation for our new Harry Potter project next week, please write a new formal letter of application. You are writing to apply for the role of ‘head boy’ or ‘head girl’ of your Hogwarts house (to be given to you on Monday). These letters need to be persuasive and formal.
Job description – a head boy/ head girl…
- is responsible and reliable
- is honest and trustworthy
- is fair and selfless
- is a role model for others
- always listen to others and value everyone’s voice
In Harry Potter, the head boy and girl are there to support Professor Dumbledore and the other teachers of Hogwarts, ensuring that school rules are followed and values are upheld. They are the assistants to the teachers. It is a very responsible role.
Use the job description above and the writing ladder provided to help you write your letters.
This task is required for Monday. For this reason, it is the only task you are being set this week.
Enjoy your weekend.
Miss Snowdon and Miss Shepard.
