March 6 2026 Mini NFA Lesson & Catch Up & Fun Friday!

 Silent Read 20 min.

 

Mini Lesson: No Fixed Address opens with Felix agreeing to tell his story up until now to Constable Lee, on the November night before he is due to go to the hotel.The story then goes back in time to the previous summer. How does this affect your expectations as you read the book? Can you think of other examples of stories (whether novels, films or television) where this (flash foward/back) device is used?

Brainstorm on the board. 

Why might an author utilize flash forwarding or flash backs at the start of a novel? Throughout? 

Review NFA Van Life Questions from last week.

Questions: 

Title of piece - No Return Address Address vs. No Fixed Address - What is the difference?

How is van life portrayed in this video by the influencers 'Where's my office now?" 

Do you think that Felix's van life experience is similar? Why or why not? 

Do you think that Astrid van life experience is similar? Why or why not? 

Catch Up - Teams. 

Fun Friday. English Board Games - e.g. scrabble, heads etc. Teams Check In - Ms. H
