TERM 4 WEEK 1

Kia ora Year 10s, welcome to your first last week of term at MHJC! I get it, you are kinda over the classroom experience, but we still have a lot to accomplish before the end of the term. Your big two goals for ending off the year on a good note are the CAT tests & work experience, which take place in Week 6 & Week 7 respectively.

This first week will be POLITICAL CARTOONS - we have looked at these individually, but the first week of cartoons will be about really applying your knowledge in a newer, more coherent fashion. You will be rethinking concepts of bias, irony, messaging and so on over the week as we go slowly develop our capacity to read image texts.
