Things to do for lesson on 1st April 2009


Hi IE4!




Firstly, please have your parents sign the consent form given out during literature lesson last week and hand it up during the lesson this Wednesday 1st April 2009.


Next, I want to talk about the project itself. Dearies, if you are confused in any way by my explanation of your project last lesson, please speak up in class. I will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.


For the next lesson, I want every student to write down at least one question on a piece of paper. It can be either regarding your group work or on your individual assignment. I expect to see your piece of paper with a question written on it in class.


Remember that you need to do your project in class as a group so do bring necessary and relevant materials such as construction paper, scissors, glue, scotch tape, clip art, travel brochure, drawing block, coloured markers, coloured pencils, research on your travel destination and whatever other items you require to do your suitcase and 3-D setting.


Ok see you on Wednesday.

Hi 1E4, Welcome to your new class blog!

Hello 1e4, I have decided to set up this blog in order to avoid confusion as 1A1 refers to the www.mzhoney.blogspot.com as well. I only take your class for literature so it make sense to have a class blog for just your class. Anyways, please refer to this blog from now on. I will update the website every Sunday after 1 pm as usual. All important information and homework will be posted on this new blog from now on.

Literature Concepts that we have learnt in class


TERM 2
The CHARACTER suitcase: GROUP

This project helps you to see that everyone will act according to character and make choices according to their character too.

When you choose a holiday destination or activities/
clothes/shoes/etc for your character, I would be able to see if you know the concept of character very well from the things that you choose for him/her. I would also be able to gauge your feelings about them.

The Character suitase/SketchBook Project: Individual

You will have to work with ONE member of your family and send him/her on an imagined holiday. Whatever you do for your group, you might want to consider for your family member. Make sure that you write down your discussions with your chosen family member in your sketchbooks so you can do your best for him/her. You should encourage your family member to write down his/her thoughts too. You should be able to draw/sketch the activities or even have clipart /paste pictures (if you are not a good artist)
