End of first quarter

Hi everyone
The first quarter is finished and with Teacher interviews this week I look forward to meeting with all the parents to discuss your child's progress. We have been very busy lately with ISA testing, school photos, end of the Immigration unit of inquiry, reports of course, and all the normal daily lessons with math and language. Our present Unit 'How we express ourselves has been going very well and the students have been looking in depth at the world of advertising. We have had some fun analysing different TV ads and disecting them using 5 questions.
1. Who is the message for?
2. Who made the message and why?
3. What is left out of the message?
4. How might others view this message differently?
5. How does the advert get my attention and keep it?

In a couple of weeks we will start the summative assignment for this unit which is a media campaign involving a radio ad, a poster or pamphlet, and a TV ad. We look forward to sharing this with you.
Another couple of things we have introduced are Studyladder and a vocaroo site. Both these have links on the Blog. (look down the right hand side to access our links).
Her is a sample of our vocaroo which we will use with our Poem of the week.
