Book Reviews - Heroes Of The Holocaust

Hello Bloggers, This weeks task for Inquiry is to complete two different Task of our choice. The first Task I chose is to complete a Book or Film Review that we have watched or read recently. We have to list why we like it, what it is about, why others would like it, and an overall conclusion/Rating of what we thought about it. Heroes Of The Holocaust (Which is the novel I chose) is about a young girl, Maria Andzelm who was a Catholic Teenager growing up in Nazi-occupied Poland. Her Jewish friends and neighbours have hauled away one by one to undisclosed locations, never to be heard or seen from again. Later on in the novel, Maria's Family took in two Jewish men. However, they knew that if they had been caught they would either be put to immediate execution or sent to a concentration camp. They hid these men underneath the floor of their barn. Every day, Maria brought them food to satisfy their stomachs and books to feed their minds. She did this every day for two years and paid a terrible price.

Why I liked it? - I like the Heroes Of The Haulocast because it is captivating and it is a Biography, it talks about the War and how these Teenagers put their lives at risk in order to save the Jewish. The overall rating that I would conclude for this is 4 Stars out of 5.

Literacy - Film Noir

Hello Bloggers, This Weeks Literacy Task We Have Finished Learning About The Genre Of Film Noir. Today I had to choose two Tasks, my First one was to create three Posters and which has to be a Movie of different Genres and my second task is to research about an Old, Urban Legend, and what it is known for. For my first Poster, I chose the Movie "Hocus Pocus" and added all of the Conventions and Elements that are involved in the Movie. For Conventions Wise, I added the Main Characters in a transparent format and I added Cauldrons on a slight angle, with a dark, Gothic, Forest Background. The Genre that it started was with Horror and I transformed it into a Film Noir. On my Second Poster, I chose to do "Hamilton" The Musical and Transform it into the Fantasy Genre, by doing this I added Microphones, A Formal Script (That people in the 1950s would use to sign certain contracts) Theatre Masks which include Good and Bad, and Unicorns, Clouds, Wands, and a Pastel Background. Lastly, I researched and Old, Urban, Legend which was about "The Hook Man". Have you learnt tasks similar before?

Wizard Of Oz Website

Hello Bloggers, A Couple Of Weeks Ago I Finished My "Wonderful Wizard Of Oz" Essay Website. I worked presumably Hard in order to have it Finished and to try and award myself a Great Essay Mark. Throughout My Essay, I included an Introduction and I discussed the Key Themes, Symbols, Character Traits and also for extra, I completed a Sub Genre about the Antagonist and Protagonist also to finish off my Website an Analysis and Summary. Before creating a Website we had many different Work Shops and Creativity Task about the Wizard Of Oz so we have various Notes to take in from our Lessons. From everything I learnt throughout the Term, I gained so much knowledge about it and even the Long Lasting Back Story behind it. 

Our next Task we will be focusing on for Next Term is a Video Essay on a Specific Genre of our choice, my option was Horror. Throughout my Video Essay, I will include the Texas Format (T - Topic Sentence, E - Evidence, X - Example,  A - Analysis, S - Summary) Within this, I will include many quick Videos and explain what Horror is, Examples, Evidence, What makes it a Horror Genre and many more.

Something to think about when Reading this is gathering different thoughts in your head about the multiple scenarios and events that are happening within the Genre and think about the Elements, Conventions, Quotes, and Cliches.

Weekly Tasks!

Hello Bloggers, We have now been out of LockDown from the Corona Virus and are back at School. I have been doing numerous different tasks during the week including Numeracy and Literacy Tasks. For maths, I have been learning about Scales and the World for Example the scale for the South Island is 1:500,0000cm. I have also been learning about the different Angles and Rules of shapes, for example, we have a protractor and a shape with three different alphabet letters then we would have to measure It and also find the rule. In literacy, I have been focusing and gathering information about The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz which is one of my favourite movies. Usually every Term we would have to read and write an essay about that topic and genre although we are doing something different and using our creativity in a different way, which is creating our very own Website. On my Website, I am going to have different themes including Themes (Home, FriendShip and Perseverance) The Characters, Symbols, And Summary and Analysis. What have you been doing since you have been back to School?
