Welcome back to Term 2. I hope you have all had a restful and relaxing break and are ready to work hard as we get stuck into Unfamiliar text work and also begin our work towards the AS: 1.11 Understanding of Visual Texts. To achieve this standard you will be required to present a detailed response to a visual text which has not been specifically discussed or studied in class. We will work together to build our skills and understanding of visual and oral features through describing, and explaining their significance in the short film, Tama Tu. This will be our practice task, and you will have the opportunity to discuss, receive feedback and complete a draft assessment.
We are going to start week 1 of Term 2 completing the unfamiliar text work and responding to the poem, 'Micky the fox terrier at the zoo' by Anna Jackson. This work is all in our Hapara workspace in the Unfamiliar text section. I have added in a model of an example answer. We will work together in class with a paper copy of the poem and revise our annotation skills. You also have access to a digital copy of the poem in the workspace.
Reading Portfolio work must now be completed in your own time, and I urge you to attend the weekly lunchtime tutorials in R12 on Monday and Thursday to help you complete this work to the required standard.
