The sailors were trapped on the open, vast, windless ocean and eventuly their thirst had pierced through their heart almost persuading them to drink the cold, bleak, salty water. Being delirious with thirst in the middle of the Ocean, without a doubt, this had to be the worst thing. One day, the Ancient Mariner noticed a towering, humongous shape approaching from the west across the golden horizon. Seeing this, his solemn sorrows had changed and the crew noticed it was a ship. Beaming with relief, the crew got up but could not cry as their lips were badly sunbearnt and their throats dry as a Desert. The Ancient Mariner ripped through his arm, sucking at his blood, wetting it enough to cheer and cry a little. ” A sail! A sail! Cried the Mariner. The ship managed to turn itself towards them. The golden, exotic looking sunlight made the ship look imprisoned. After a while the Mariners mood turned from excited to dreadful. He noticed that ship was approaching quick.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Three guys are on the way to a wedding celebration when an old sailor (the Mariner) stops one of them at the door. Hooking their attention, he starts to explain his disastrous, unique story.
The beaming sun remained in the morning, but at evening, the north Pacific wind howled bitting at the ship, piercing holes with dark mist. He explains about the Albatross being shot and the rest of the crew members being furious with him. They all believed that the albatross saved them from the icy bitter weather. The albatross made the mist disappear and bring back the bright golden sunlight.

The book I am reading is called Farm Boy by Michael Morpurgo. This book is about a boy who loves helping his grandpa on the farm. School is not particularly his favorite thing, however he is very interested in animals and the farm. whilst he is at the farm, his grandfather reveals his shameful secret that he cant read or write. The grandson agrees to dedicate a few months to teach his grandfather but he has to learn first before he plans his trip to Australia!
The Rime of the Acient Mariner part 1
The bleak icy weather was here,
Dancing around in the sky,
the icy frost everywhere, blinding people in the eyes
the icy Dance is a metaphor
Stick a Badge On It
Every badge available for you to earn can be found online on our special badge site: achieve.community.edutronic.net
When you submit something for assessment your teacher will evaluate it against the published criteria for each badge. You can submit work for assessment at any time – and the work can come from inside our outside the classroom.
The criteria is published in conjunction with each achievement badge, along with samples of other students’ work that has met the criteria, so you can be clear about the standards that are expected.
If your work successfully meets the criteria then your teacher will award you that badge. You will receive an email, it will be added to your Credly account and it will show up on the right side of the page whenever you log into the achievement site.
If you want to know more of what is required to unlock an achievement, simply click on its icon or title. Here are a few examples from English, Drama and Science:
Wide Reading Project
During the year you will be asked to read a wide range of texts. Using texts studied in class as well as texts you have selected you will also complete a log of the reading process. Overall you will read eight texts including at least six written texts and two visual texts. You will complete log entries on each text and present a report on your findings.
Attached is the outline of your required personal reading project – inside is the guidance you need to make sure your own-choice reading is going to meet the wide reading criteria.
You can always ask your teacher for advice about which texts would be best to concentrate on – and once you’ve read each text, you’ll then be asked to write a journal entry on your blog explaining how it helped develop your understanding of The Individual and Society.
This year everyone in the school will be required to have a ‘book at hand’ – and for English students, it makes a good idea to make that book one that helps you towards this reading project.
This is Your Online Domain
Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.
Edutronic has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.
Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.
Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.
If you have any questions for your teacher, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. Your teachers are am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.
Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning!
