Brainteaser –
• Last week, the local Primary school was visited by the Government School Inspector who was there to check that teachers were performing well in their respective classes.
He was very impressed with one particular teacher. The Inspector noticed that each time the class teacher asked a question, every child in the class put up their hands enthusiastically to answer it.
More surprisingly, whilst the teacher chose a different child to answer the questions each time, the answers were always correct.
Why would this be?

Brainteaser –
• The children were instructed to ALL raise their hands whenever a question was asked. It did not matter whether they knew the answer or not.
If they did not know the answer, however, they would raise their LEFT hand.
If they knew the answer, they would raise their RIGHT hand.
The class teacher would choose a different child each time, but always the ones who had their RIGHT hand raised.

Clear your DESK!!

• Try to imagine what tyoe of emotion these lines have – do just read the words, pretend you are the character. Would you yell or whisper? Would you speak fast or slow?

Romeo and Juliet is written like poetry and
Shakespeare often uses figurative language to give the reader a better understanding about what is going on.
With a partner you are going to be looking through the play for specific forms of figurative language and telling me what they mean.

Work in Partners ONLY if you can stay quiet and on task!

Brain teaser:
I drift forever with the current
Down these long canals they've made
Tame, yet wild, I run elusive
Multitasking to your aid.
Before I came, the world was darker
Colder, sometimes, rougher, true
But though I might make living easy,
I'm good at killing people too.
Hint: You use me everyday!
