Grade 10 Homework

Dear Grade 10s

I hope that your homework for this Tuesday has been completed.
Your homework for next Tuesday, the 4th of September is to read the third summary text about the world's most expensive hamburger.
You must summarise the text into six bullet points and then a paragraph of 90-100 words.

You must also then write a paragraph in which you discuss whether keeping a secret is the same thing as telling a lie. Your paragraph should be 180-200 words long. You may use examples and analogies in your response. You will need to take a position on the matter: either you agree that secrets are lies, or you do not. You then need to argue for why you hold that position - give reasons as to why you are correct in your view.

Happy homework!

UPDATE to yesterday's post:
When writing analytical paragraphs such as the Nickelback comparison, and the one above, there are some points to remember:
1) Always write in the present tense: "Nickelback is trying to encourage us..."
2) Avoid using colloquial language; this includes contracted words such as "can't, don't, won't" and "They are just so upset by poverty" or "so, like, basically the songs mean that..."
3) Do not begin sentences with conjunctions such as "But, And, Because."
4) Remember to punctuate the titles of songs correctly: begin each word of the title with a capital letter and place the titles in inverted commas in your text: "If Everyone Cared" and "When we Stand Together."
5) If you are using words from either song then you must quote them correctly and place them in inverted commas.
6) Finally, be as specific as possible: "When it talks about these things, it wants us to do something." You have the correct idea but you have not expressed it clearly enough. I am not sure what you are referring to in this sentence.
