DAY 1: BOOKWORMS
Activity 1 & 2 and 3

Activity 1: Rags to Riches [4 points]
J. K. Rowling is one of the most well known authors in the world. She wrote the Harry Potter series of books. Over 500 million copies of her books have been sold, making J. K. Rowling the world’s first billionaire author.
While she was writing the first Harry Potter book, she was a single mum with very little money. She used to write while her daughter Jessica was asleep. She used her initials ‘J.K.’ instead of her name (Joanne) because her publisher thought that boys might not want to read a book written by a woman.
J. K. Rowling has done many interviews which have revealed things about her as a writer and as a person. One of these interviews was conducted by a very famous television personality, Oprah Winfrey (you can find more about her on Day 3, Activity 1!).
As well as books needing to be engaging and interesting for the reader, it is important that they are engaging and interesting on the cover too. We sometimes say “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but we often choose books (if we don’t know much about them) when they have an attractive cover!
For this activity, design a book cover for your favourite book. You will need to think about what needs to be on the cover (the title, author, illustrator), pictures, colour, etc. Please create all of the images yourself (draw or photograph) rather than using images that you find online. On your blog, share the book cover you have designed.

Task Description : For this task I had to create my own Book cover! I deiced to go with one of my favourtive books to read " Spirit Animals". First off I had to create a google docs then made it into a book cover then picked a background I deiced to go with a sunset with a sun at the back and Wolfs standing on the mountain . I had to create another Google Drawing and to the side of the book which is the colorful rainbow the the text Spirit Animals. Then added some lines to make the Wolfs stick out after that I had to put it the design or inspiration of the books name " Spirit Animals " and then added the Illustrator and Author - Finally the second to last step was making the pages out rectangles but make it into line but a kinda think one and coloured it a cream colour and copied and paste it again and again . The Finally step was adding the black lines and making it look like a book and there is the Finish Book Cover!! This had to be my favourtive since I got to design and be Creative and it was also fulfilled with loads of fun even tho it was the longest to complete!!!

Activity 2: Romeo and Juliet [4 points]
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an author, poet and playwright. He is best known for the plays that he wrote while living in England in the 16th Century. Although they were written a long time ago, they are still popular because they talk about things that are familiar to us - love, revenge, confusion, betrayal, jealousy, hurt, etc. You might have heard of some of his plays: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, King Lear. Many of them have also been made into movies.
Shakespeare wrote his plays in English, however, it is not the same version of English that we have now. In fact, many of the words that we use today, in 2019, weren’t used back in 1600 (and vice versa). For this activity, we would like you to learn more about ‘Shakespearean English’ - the version of English that Shakespeare used to write his plays. To do this, please write a short recount about what you did this morning in regular (2019) English, and then use this translating tool to turn it into Shakespearean English. On your blog, share both your English and Shakespearean translation of your recount.
Here is an example:
This morning I got up early when my daughter Laila woke up. We had a delicious breakfast of steaming hot porridge before heading out the door to start the day. It was cold, sunny and clear outside.
This m'rning I did get up early at which hour mine own daught'r Laila did wake up. We hadst a delicious breakfast of steaming hot p'rridge bef're heading out the doth'r to starteth the day. T wast bitter cold, sunny and cleareth outside.

My Morning - English Version
Waking up to a beautiful sun awaiting for me to get out of bed.Once I finally deiced to get out of bed , I went to the kitchen and had fruit and water for breakfast and ate a bit of chocolate hehehe. After that I went to go and brush my teeth in the bathroom then go to my room and do my hair as well as get ready for the day. Then I cleaned up my room as well as the house. After all that cleaning I chilled out in my bed and started to wonder what should I do.
My Morning - Shakespearean Version

Once i finally deic'd to receiveth out of sleep chamber , i wenteth to the kitchen and hadst fruit and wat'r f'r breakfast and consumed a did bite of chocolate hehehe. Aft'r yond i wenteth to wend and brusheth mine own teeth in the bathroom then wend to mine own cubiculo and doth mine own hair as well as receiveth eft f'r the day. Then i did clean up mine own cubiculo as well as the house. Aft'r all yond cleaning i chill'd out in mine own sleep chamber and did start to wond'r what shouldst i doth.
Task Description : Writing my how my morning went was pretty simple and cool but once I changed it into Shakespearean's Version of Writing was very interesting and kinda hard to read considering its very different. I liked this task since I learn another cool way of saying and learn a new language that got created by a person!!

Activity 3: The Diary of Anne Frank [6 points]
Anne Frank was a very brave girl. She was born and raised in a Jewish family in Germany in the 1930s. When World War II started, Anne and her family were forced to hide because the German
politicians (Nazis) did not like Jewish people. She and her family hid out in a secret room in their house for two full years. During this time, Anne wrote in a diary. When the war ended, Anne’s dad found the diary and made it into a book. He called it The Diary of Anne Frank or The Diary of a Young Girl.
I know lots of people who keep a diary. Often they will record what they did during the day or recount stories about special events that have taken place.
For this activity, we would like you to imagine that you have a diary. In your diary please write a story about your most extraordinary day. What happened? You can tell us about an actual event or you can make one up. It’s totally up to you! Please be as creative as you can.
On your blog, post a diary entry about your extraordinary day. Please start your post with the words “Dear Diary”. *Please check out the Eye-Catching Blog Posts page for ideas!
