L/O: I can research a famous European artist.

Choose a European artist to focus on.

Try to find the following points:

• When and where they were born.
• When did they start producing artwork?
• Was their artwork recognised at the time?
• The artistic style that they were famous for.
• Was mediums (materials/art forms) did they use?
• Famous artwork that they had created. What is their most famous piece of art?

Create a blog on your artist using J2e5.

My favourite story that I have read is called ‘Holes’.

I love this story because it has an interesting plot that I haven’t read in other books. There aren’t many stories that have the main character digging holes throughout the story. I like how the author uses a family curse to affect the main character and how he makes the story jump backwards in time to tell us how the curse came to be.

Blurb:

In the middle of a dry desert-like lake, lies Camp Green Lake. A place where troublesome boys are sent after doing wrong. They digs holes in the blistering heat to teach them a lesson.

An unlucky boy a called Stanley Yelnats finds himself there and has to learn to work hard or suffer. He has to learn to fit in even though he shouldn’t be there in the first place. However, a old family curse haunts him and continues to play a factor in his life.

Will Stanley break the family curse? Or will Camp Green Lake break him?

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a strong main character in their story and who like a story that leaves them wanting more. 10/10
