  •                                                                FOCUS / ARONGA 


    We are FOCUSING on visual devices by explaining the effects of conventions in a written/visual text.

    We are EXPLORING by analysing multiple and sometimes competing interpretations of a text, including my own, using analytical lenses to make informed judgments about the text.


                                                                          Success Criteria:


    • I can compose a range of text using language features.
      • I can examine how the themes, messages and opinions  of a text can be experienced by different readers in different ways.


    Knows Covered:


    KNOW: Language works at both denotative and connotative levels. There is a gap between the language we choose to convey an idea and how the idea is understood. Our language choices and how we interpret language can reveal our values and beliefs.

    KNOW: As a text creator, I can contribute to national and global conversations through my original interpretations of texts and through the texts I create.

    Week 4 Learning Activities

                                                                                 Wednesday


    • Watch the following   about analysing visual images and information.
    • Look at the image (right) on slide 27 of the "Copy of Visual Devices Slideshow" and write about how it shows the context of travelling around the world. Write about which visual devices from slides 5 to 25 are used for the image. Also, write about how it shows the features of a static image on slide 3.
    • Then on slide 29 you will see a picture of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party from “Alice In Wonderland.” Then on slide 30 you will see a colour chart of all the different colours which you may not have heard of. Describe the colours you see in the picture as well as the visual devices that the artist has used which are stated from slides 5 to 25 to make the picture appealing. Write your opinion of whether it is an appealing image to you or not and why.
    • See the advertising slogan for promoting water safety below:

    “The trip around the world means big moments of living!”

    Then draw a picture which represents it. If you want to create your own slogan that is fine but draw the picture for it too.

    • Finally, create a slideshow of different images which shows the context of going around the world for each of the visual devices from slides 5 to 25. Then write in your English books how each of the visual devices are being shown.
