Year 8 Dragons Homeworks

Dragons – Homeworks

Remember to spend at least an hour on your homework each week: your homework handing in day remains the same so Tuesday for 8X and Thursday for 8Y.

1. Read one of the How to Train Your Dragon by Cressia Cowell (write a note in your book if you choose this one telling me which book you are reading)

2. Write a short story in the voice of a dragon

3. Write a diary entry – either a day in the life of a dragon or from someone who has fought a dragon or someone who has a dragon as a pet!

4. Find a poem about a dragon and write a short piece of writing about it

5. With a friend create a short piece of drama involving a dragon (you’ll have to show it to the class so be prepared!)

6. Draw a picture depicting a battle between a knight and a dragon

7. Research how dragons have been portrayed in paintings – find two paintings and analyse how dragons have been shown (i.e. do they look fierce or friendly? are they fighting or tame?)

8. Write a letter to your parents to try to persuade them to allow you to keep a dragon for a pet

9. Find a traditional story about or including a dragon – be prepared to read it (or part of it) to the class and explain what you like about it

10. In a pair or a small group, write a song about a dragon and sing it to the class!
