WednesdayPlan your writing and do a first draft on a blank sheet of paper.Do you want your writing to be published in the school’s newsletter? We are looking for top writers. Here is the topic for your writing this week.

Home-school is better than regular school (Do you agree or disagree?)Choose one side and write a persuasive essay.

ThursdayRe-read, correct spelling, punctuation, tense and other grammatical errors (ask someone at home for help). Re-write yesterday’s work in your book.

You must argue for or against the idea of home education. With your parents/family, discuss evidence that will support your view. When you have thought of examples that will help you to argue your case, think about how you will present your ideas. You could try using some of these phrases to introduce examples:For example...For instance...Consider...Let’s take the case of...This is well illustrated by... Evidence of this can be seen in... One example of this is...

Now, take your argument to a member of your family or talk to some of your friends that oppose your view. Explain your ideas to them and listen as they explain their viewpoint. Once you have listened to each other, you should sum up your discussion. Some of the following words and phrases will help you to do this: So, it is clear that...What this tells us is...This points to ...We can assume, therefore that... Clearly... Obviously...There is little doubt, then...

marks on a portrait

Key VocabularyRembrandt DarkPortrait ToneLight Shadow

Knowledge – Who was Rembrandt?Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn(1606-1669) DutchAlthough Rembrandt made prints, he was very famous for the portraits and the Bible stories he painted. At the time that Rembrandt lived, there were many very talented artists in Holland, so he must have been very special to have stood out beyond the rest. He had a really good reputation as an artist where he lived, but he made himself unpopular because he preferred to paint ordinary, poor people, who modelled for him. This was

NORTHWOLD HOME LEARNING 27/04-01/05.20

criticised by the rich people who thought about buying his paintings – they didn’t want to look at pictures of poor people.In Rembrandt’s portraits the nose is usually the point that divides the light part of the painting from the dark part. The nose is usually bright and obvious. He liked to show spots of brightness and pockets of deep darkness.Another thing that Rembrandt was particularly good at was showing human emotions. It is easy to understand what his characters are thinking because their faces show this so clearly.

would it be and why?
