Monday's English - 6/7/20

We are going to use a picture from Gregory Cool today as a prompt for you to write your own dialogue…

The image shows Granny and Grandpa just arriving at the beach. What might they say to each other? I would like you to write out a short conversation between them. You need to focus on speech punctuation (inverted commas, capital letter to begin speech, punctuation before the closing inverted comma) and try to include some non-standard English as looked at last week.

Here are some subjects the characters might talk about:

  • The weather
  • How Gregory is settling in
  • How Lennox and Gregory are getting on
  • What they could do on the beach
  • The food in the picnic basket
