Fiction “It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time,” Milo remarks as he walks dejectedly home from school. Until for no logical or predictable reason he is transported to a strange world of words, numbers and confusion. ‘Isn’t it beautiful?’ gasped Milo. ‘Oh, I don’t know,’ answered a strange voice. ‘It all depends on how you look at things.’ ‘I beg your pardon?’ said Milo, for he didn’t see who had spoken. ‘I said it depends how you look at things,’ repeated the voice. Milo turned around and found himself staring at two very neatly polished brown shoes, for standing directly in front of him (if you can use the word ‘standing’ for someone suspended in mid-air) was another boy just about his age, whose feet were easily three feet off the ground. ‘For instance,’ continued the boy, ‘if you happen to like deserts, you might not think this was beautiful at all.’ ‘For instance,’ said the boy again, ‘if Christmas trees were people and people were Christmas trees, we’d all be chopped down, put up in the living room, and covered with tinsel, while the trees opened our presents.’ ‘What does that have to do with it?’ asked Milo. 83 Year 6, Sequence 11 ‘Nothing at all,’ he answered, ‘but it’s an interesting possibility, don’t you think?’ ‘How do you manage to stand up there?’ for this was the subject that most interested him. ‘I was about to ask you a similar question,’ answered the boy, ‘for you must be much older than you look to be standing on the ground.’ ‘What do you mean?’ Milo asked. ‘Well,’ said the boy, ‘in my family everyone is born in the air, with his head at exactly the height it’s going to be when he’s an adult, and then we all grow towards the ground. When we’re fully grown up, or as you can see, grown down, our feet finally touch. Of course, there are a few of us whose feet never reach the ground, no matter how old we get, but I suppose it is the same in every family.’ He hopped a few steps in the air, skipped back to where he started, and then began again. ‘You certainly must be very old to have reached the ground already.’ ‘Oh no,’ said Milo seriously, ‘in my family we all start on the ground and grow up, and we never know how far until we actually get there.’ ‘What a silly system,’ the boy laughed. ‘Then your head keeps changing its height and you always see things in a different way? Why, when you’re fifteen things won’t look at all the way they did when you were ten, and at twenty everything will change again.’ ‘I suppose so,’ said Milo, for he had never really thought about the matter. ‘We always see things from the same angle,’ the boy continued. ‘It’s much less trouble that way. Besides it makes more sense to grow down and not up. When you’re very young, you can never hurt yourself from falling down if you’re in mid-air, and you certainly can’t get into trouble for scuffing your shoes or marking the floor if there’s nothing to scuff them on and the floor is three feet away

STUDENTS THINK FAKE NEWS IS FACT AND ARE USING IT IN THEIR SCHOOLWORK, SAY TEACHERS

Teachers are frustrated that students can’t accept that some stories on social networks are false, while experts suggest that students need better education about online dangers. Students believe that fake news is a fact, and are repeating it in lessons and using it in written work, teachers have warned. More than a third of teachers say their students have used false information that they found online, according to a survey by a teacher’s union.

The union’s general secretary Chris Keates said that the information was "worrying" and it showed that internet companies have a lot of power to influence people’s opinions, especially young people. International education experts are becoming more worried about the situation and say that teachers will need to teach children how to spot fake news. Others were frustrated that students didn’t believe that news they had seen on Facebook and other social media sites was not true, even when the problem was explained to them. One teacher said that students often thought that fake news sites were real, and also that anything that President Donald Trump said was a fact. Last week, German officials said they would give fines of up to 50 million euro to social networks if they didn’t take down illegal fake news posts. The new law would give social networks 24 hours to delete or block the content and seven days to concentrate on more complicated cases. Commenting on the results of the survey, Ms. Keates said that she was worried about the trend, particularly because many young people have never known a world without internet, and are less able to judge whether information that they read online is real or fake. She added that: "It is important for children and young people to be made aware that not everything they see and read online is real."

She said that teachers are trying to help educate students about using false information, but added that it was important for internet providers and websites to take responsibility for any material that is available, and also to deal with people who misuse their services. Last month, Andreas Schleicher, the director of education and skills at OECD (The Organization of Economic co-operation and Development) said that in the modern age, being able to tell the difference between what is real and what is fake is a critical skill. He added that: "This is something that we believe schools can do something about."

Since I don't feel like grading a final paper and I KNOW you don't feel like doing a final paper, your final project for this year will be...(drumroll please)... a creative project!

What does that mean? It means that your project is up to you.

TASK: 

Part 1: You are going to create some type of project (digital or physical) that illustrates 3 things: a visual representation of AT LEAST ONE novel we've read in class, what you've learned from said novel, and some indicator of your emotions towards the novel. In Part 1, you must submit a written proposal to me as to what your project will be: your proposal must include: the 3 components of your project (see above), a plan for what you intend to do each day in class, what materials you intend to use to make your project, and what texts you are going to get your sources from.

Part 2: Create the project using the guidelines listed above

Part 3: You are going to write me a 2 page argument explaining how your creative project represents your chosen novel. Your write-up should include: a claim, 3 pieces of evidence (quotes) from the book, 3 pieces of elaboration, and why you chose to do your project the way you did (or put another way: why DIDN'T you do another type of project?)

Dear David,

How are you? I hope this email finds you well and ready for a good story! I wanted to tell you about an adventure that I had recently, which I thought you may find funny!

Last Friday, I went to the park with my brother and friend Tony. It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone was having fun. Everything was going well until I decided to walk near the little pond. I didn’t notice the very slippery ground so I ended up slipping and falling down! Everyone turned to look at me. I was so embarrassed, but luckily, I didn’t injure myself.

But my misfortune didn’t end there. As we were walking home from the park, I tripped over a small rock. You can imagine what happened next…I fell again and this time I injured my leg. As it turned out, I sprained my ankle and had to go to the doctor! I am now recovering in bed, but my ankle is still in pain!

Anyway, I hope you had a better weekend than me! Haha! Please write back soon, I’m looking forward to your news!

Love,

Theano
