Literacy: writing an informal letter

We watched a short video clip of the RMS Titanic sinking. You can see the clip again by clicking here. Our task is to pretend to be a Titanic survivor, safe aboard the rescue ship Carpathia the next morning.

Write an informal letter to a friend, telling them what it was like when the ship was sinking. Put plenty of description into your letter. Use adjectives and adverbs. Try to use WOW words. Please finish your letter at home. Don't forget the end of the letter. I have put an example of the beginning of a letter on the board above. Make a good job of your homework and enjoy doing it.
