Look Both Ways is your second text this year for the outcome 'Reading and Responding'. This is the beginning of unit 4. We only have this outcome and one other for 'Creating and Presenting' left!!!!


Almost there now.


Your teacher would have screened the film in class and you may have had a brief discussion about it. On the holidays you will be doing some character work so that you can get a head start on this film. This means that you have to watch it over the holidays yourself. I recommend viewing the extras as well as you will get valuable information about the filmmaker and her ideas here.


 


You will be required to write about the author's intentions and the ways that author's make meaning from texts. In order to do this with a film text you will need to discuss film techniques such as camera angles, shot length, lighting, props, viewpoints etc. We will be working through some

I am doing my character profiles and i need some information on some of the characters.
Any help would be great.

This is a great resource, i love the way the site has hyperlinks to other helpful sites. The site needs a little something to make it standout, too bad you cant. Oh by the way miss, do you know any other sites that are helpful for studying conflict in The Secret River?

HOW TO:
You must keep in mind the fact that when you do a language analysis (and you will be doing a comparitive analysis) you are not playing 'spot the persuasive technique'. The real key is making sure that you discuss what the writer(or film maker) is doing and how they are persuading their target audience. You must think carefully about the tone and whether or not it changes, think also about any appeals that are being used]]> Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:19:12 +0000 mod useful tools http://englishguru.pbwiki.com/useful+tools email.hidden@example.com (Mrs RL) Mrs RL edited useful tools Here is my diigo page with useful links for year 12 English, you should consider setting these up for yourself, the more there are, the easier it is for everyone as we all share our links with each other.

Make sure that you use persuasive language in your presentation, that's what this is all about. Do you have some facts and statistics? Can you use emotive language or appeals? What tone do you think you will use? These (and more) are things you should consider in order to give yourself the best possible chance of success.
Analysis of persuasive texts.
This section of the Area of Study is also worth 20% so you will need to practice it and make sure that you are completely aware of the requirements. Your Oxford textbook 'Using Language to Persuade' will have some very relevant information on this and some activities to complete from page 45 onwards. Work through the activities on persuasive language so that you are revising your knowledge of this area.
