Students wrote their letters in a Google doc and included pictures about their writing.
FILM
Level 3 English students are studying short films during their narrative studies this term. They have watched and analysed several short films to learn how film composers can affect and influence their audiences through visual techniques such as camera framing, lighting and body language. In the future, these students will be able to have more ideas when creating their own films and have a clearer understanding of how to shoot their short movies and other visual texts.
This term, the 42 class is reading Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. They understand the purpose of a narrative and know the structure of the text. They enjoy engaging in interactive and paired activities while they learn the new vocabulary from the narrative. Using the theme of morality from the narrative, students were eager to express their opinions for and against hunting.
The 63 class have had a busy term in English! The past four weeks have seen students learning about visual techniques and their effect, particularly in reference to poster advertisements. Students wrote essays analysing the effectiveness of an advertisement of their choice, which they did very successfully! They also engaged in listening activities such as running dictation, pair cloze gap and comprehension activities. They look forward to starting writing their own advertisements in the coming weeks!
