Melbourne Writers' Festival 2017: Dark Places

Wednesday 30 August

This excursion complemented the extra-curriculur program Book Lovers' Club.

 

All members of the Book Lovers (students in Years 7-12) were offered the opportunity to attend the session 'Dark Places', in which two young adult fiction authors discussed their recent novels.

Year 8 Novel Study

Throughout the year, students have been honing their skills in making evidence based inferences, in both short stories and persuasive texts.

 

This term, the Year 8s have been practising these skills on a much wider scale, studying a novel analytically.

 

Students are able to identify the big ideas evident in a text, and what message the author is trying to communicate to their chosen audience. From there, students are gathering and analysing evidence of these messages, which will be distilled into a structured analytical essay.

 

This is a wonderful achievement for our Year 8's.
