This
week we attempted our formative assessment on persuasive appeals (ethos, pathos and logos) and gained a deeper understanding by reflecting on
the feedback .We worked on vocabulary building by assuming the meaning of a
wordfrom the context, learning strategies to remember the meaning and
spellings and then finally using them in a sentence. We also understood how various
words have gained different meaning over a period.Furthermore, we revised
report writing and grammar concepts to prepare for the forthcoming summative assessment.
