This Week in English

This week, students wrote their first graded assignment on `Informal Letter Writing` in English Language.

During the week, they worked on the theory, examined sample letters and the format of a letter and yesterday they concluded the topic by writing their very own letters as Rahul, a fictional character from the folktale `Stripes Tiger and the Boy`, to Preety using the story as a reference.

In English Literature, we carried on with narration of some more folktales and discussing elements in them. Today (in 5B and 5A) we started working on folktales of Ananse the Spider from Ghana, Africa. We learned the common elements in Ananse folktales, characteristics of the hero in these stories and people of the Ashanti tribe from which these tales have originated.

Next week, we will read the tale called `All Stories Are Ananse`s` and analyze it during the English Literature periods.
