to convey using correct grammar and vocabulary

Listen as your teacher reads the synopses of the graphic novels - 'Black Beauty', 'Journey
to the Centre of the Earth' and 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery'. Then, explain one
theme from any one of the stories.

Tips to help you:

1 Choose a story that you are most familiar with.
2 Then, choose a theme from that story which you can relate to so it will make it
easier for you when you explain.
3 Use simple words when you explain so others can understand your
explanation.
4 Support your explanation with situations that portray the theme in the story.

piece of literary work. For
example, one of the
themes in 'Black Beauty' is
'kindness'.

Explain one theme from...

The Boscombe Black Beauty Journey to the

Valley Mystery Centre of the
