year 7 2008

When you have completed your entire assignment on Ancient Civilizations and are ready to present your oral you may begin work on a movie to do with any topic of your choice on Ancient Civilizations, even selecting to look at another country if your choose to. To get to this point you will be really extending yourself, so well done.

You may like to make a movie on a certain person like Hercules or on an Ancient town, a particular gladiator battle or look at Hannibal….the choice is yours. You may do a voice over like we have learnt with Sartz or simply do written pages. You may if you want to also do Photo Shop instead of Movie Maker.

Remember though extend yourself and do your best, and have fun…

Well we are drawing to an end to Ancient Civilizations and you have two tasks left to do.

1). If you are studying Ancient China you are research in full Terracotta Soldiers

    If you are studying Ancient Greece you are to research in full any mythological creature of your choice.

You must know all about which area you are studying and have a good picture of one. In art you are going to make a clay model of your chosen area and by the end of the semester be able to bring your clay model to General Studies and give a talk on the history of your subject.

2) Last but not least you are going to tie in your intructional writing skills with your knowledge on Ancient Civilizations. You are to select an area of your Civilization and write a ‘How to” procedure on it, for example, how to tie a toga, how to plough up a field, how to write on a scroll. This will be another oral presentation to the class due on Friday the 5th of September.

Lots to get through these next few weeks guys, so lets get to it…

Welcome back…

Today we are going to look at letter writing…        

I want you to write a letter to your parents telling them about everything you did last week, so if you went on camp it will be a letter all about that, if you stayed here tell your parents what you got up to.

A letter always has your address up the top (so make up a fake one) and begins with Dear…

You are to have at least three paragraphs in your letter, you may have them on: what was good, what was bad, what you enjoyed the most, what the food/accomodation was like, the games you played, the people you met and what you may do next time. Use your imagination as each paragraph is to contain no less than 6 full sentences.

Lastly do not forget to sign off: love, from, with regards, sincerely are some of the variations used to sign off on a letter.

You are to do your letter on a PAGE and title it  A Letter.

Can’t wait to see what you write and don’t forget to tell Mum and Dad to check it and reply.

We are off on camp this week, hope you have packed well with lots of warm clothes and a big waterproof coat.

                  Well Beechworth awaits and so far you know that Ned Kelly was sent to court there and………………well what else?

Your task today is very simple you are to research Beechworth come up with 5 interesting things about the area that you did not already know (prize for the first person who can tell me what is so unusal about the town clock).

You are to write a page titiled Beechworth and write an introduction about Beechworth and then in 5 full sentences list down the facts you have learnt. It will be interesting to see if you see or experience any of the information you find out. As always I want a piccy!
