This week I would like you to complete a response to the following writing topics:
1. What occasions did you celebrate so far during this pandemic? Make a list. Choose 1 or 2 and explain how you celebrated this year compared to how you would normally celebrate. Which was better?
2. Billie Ellish said “In the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you're a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that's so lame.” Write a response stating if you agree or disagree with her and explain why.
3. Who is your favourite band or singer? Research and write all you know about them and try to persuade others to listen to them.
4. There has been a lot of research that proves that helping others helps you feel better. Think of something you could do to help one of your neighbours, family or friends during this difficult time. Do it and then write to describe what you did and how it made you feel.
