REFLECT / WHAIWHAKAARO learning intentions:
- We are REFLECTING on how well we can communicate our ideas about our understanding of the term 2 context "To the Stars & Back".
- We are PLANNING to create static images to demonstrate our understanding of our term context

LAST WEEK OF TERM 2!
Our context for this term is "To the Stars & Back" . This concept is great because it is open to interpretation in that we are able to use many avenues to explore the topic. To me, it is a look into initiatives and the culture of nature, and our place in it.
The overall working plan for English this term will look something like this using the term context as a slight guide: *
- Revisiting formal essay writing: PEDAL (2 WEEKS)
- Film study & Response to text. We are watching The Martian (4 WEEKS)
