Dosbarth Twcan– Talk Homework

This week we will be writing a biography about the Isambard

Kingdom Brunel and his engineering designs, for example, the Box Hill Tunnel, the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the biggest ship at the time, the Great Eastern. There is lots of information on the internet (BBC Primary History has a very good site with photos, videos, information and games) and I the pupils are also looking his story in class today. I would like you to think and talk about the following:

· What was his early life like?

· What is an engineer?

· What did he design?

· Why were his designs important?

Remember to think of as many WOW words as you can to help you make your writing more exciting!

The more talking the better! Enjoy!
