LC: LC: To plan a newspaper article- independent.

 

We will read the story of Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer The Cat Burglars.

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
We're a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

We have an extensive reputation
We make our home in Victoria Grove
This is merely our center of operation
For we are incurably given to rove

If the area window is found ajar
And the basement looks like a field of war
If a tile or two comes loose on the roof
Which presently fails to be waterproof
If the drawers are pulled out from the bedroom chest
And you can't find one of your winter vests
Or after supper one of the girls
Suddenly misses her Woolworth pearls
The family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer!"
And most of the time they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a very unusual gift of the gab
We are highly efficient cat burglars as well
And remarkably smart at a smash and grab
We make our home in Victoria Grove
We have no regular occupation
We are plausible fellows who like to engage
A friendly policeman in conversation

When the family assembles for Sunday dinner
Their minds made up that they won't get thinner
On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
Then the cook will appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice that is broken with sorrow,
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
For the joint has gone from the oven like that!"
The family will say, "It's that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer!"
And most of the time they leave it at that

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer have a wonderful way of working together
And some of the time you would say it was luck
And some of the time you would say it was weather
We go through the house like a hurricane
And no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpelteazer?
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

And when you hear a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there comes a loud crash
Or down from the library there comes a loud ping
From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming
Then family will say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!

 

Task: You will be planning a news paper article on the crimes of Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer, the cat burglars.

LC: To understand why people have different ideas on how to live well.

List the people who have influenced your own sense of right and wrong and to suggest why these people are a good source of wisdom and authority.

Imagine that you have the last piece of paper in the world. You have been asked to use it to pass on the best guidance for life you have ever been given – what would you write?

Examples:

It's okay to fail.

In life, you are bound to fail. Accept failure as it is how you grow.

People come and go.

It's just a simple part of life, people will come and go and that's just how it is.

Always stand up for what you believe in.

If you have a strong belief about something, stick to it

Always fight for what you want.

I believe in this so much, if you really want something you should fight for it as hard as you possibly can.

 Family is important.

Family has been there from the start and will always be there for you. Never lose sight of that. Family will always have your back no matter what.

 Always stay true to yourself.

Never change who you are for anyone as at the end of the day it is your happiness that matters the most.

We will be comparing  and discussing these so think carefully.

Discussion: Why might people have differing ideas about how to live a good life?
