Imagine you have been asked to design a poster to feature in a new hunting magazine. The poster is to advertise ways to poach pheasants.
Create a poster explaining the two methods Danny’s Dad describes for how to catch a pheasant, ‘The Horse-hair Stopper’ and ‘The Sticky Hat’.

Checklist:

  • Make your poster attractive by including images, an exciting title and words and phrases from the text.
  • If you are feeling really creative, you could also include an additional method to poaching pheasants which you have invented!

 

TOPIC

Today you can choose which area you would like to find out more about from the BBC link below. You can choose from:
