Monday Week 5
Quotes about Reality Using the two pages of quotes about
reality, find as many quotes as possible relating to Wednesday’s prompt:
Prompt: We don’t see things the way they are, we see things the way we are.
On Wednesday Perfectly worded explanation. Must be
typed and 300 words.The metalanguage handoutA page of Vocab/spellings. No plans Memorise your topic sentencesMemorise key quotesUse several outside texts Underline the The Shark NetUnderline all names of texts
What have we learnt in this unit?Bullet point list of skills, facts etc… that you
know that you have learnt so far:
Text? Novel? Book?Let’s refer to The Shark Net as Robert
Drewe’s memoirs.
EG: In Robert Drewe’s memoirs, The Shark Net, we see Cooke’s reality as imagined by Drewe.
You are going to sound silly when…You claim that the people of Perth locked
their doors and closed their windows because of Sparrows.
Lesson: Don’t mix ideas.
ApostrophesIf you are putting an ‘s’ on the end of
someone’s name, then unless there are two or more of that character, you are indicating something belongs to them.
Drewe’s fear of lionsDorothy’s fear of boiling brainRoy’s new job in PerthTo the gathered business men it was
Mrs Dunlop’s funeral they were attending.
Absolutes- A bad ideaBefore September 11, people travelled without a fear of hijacking.
NOT TRUE – Some people may have, but we can’t say absolutely all did/did not.
Before September 11, airline hijackings were a distant memory and not a primary concern for most travellers.
Do Some ResearchDon’t use examples/anecdotes until you have
researched them and fully understand them. Imagine if told you:
I was watching a television program called Two Men and a Half which follows the lives of two men who can’t have children so they buy a boy from a women to raise. However, one man has to wear obscene shirts to scare away wild dogs which in turn attracts women.
It sounds ridiculous. Which is exactly the way your work will sound if you mix/invent facts. This is especially important regarding historic events and personalities that we know a great deal about.
For ExampleOn the sample plan the example of
Dresden has been used.
Words that add nothingCompare:
I think though that having thought that he was different made him think he was going to be treated differently by the kids at his school. 26 words
Drewe feared that he would be treated differently at school. 10 words
Structure Don’t rush into writing about the text. Fully
explore the prompt and discuss who it relates to Whose Reality?
When you do write about the text, do so in detail. EXPLAIN
Add a bit of contextThink about the examples that you use.
Try to place them in some context.
If you were going to mention Drewe’s killing of the shark then you would mention when this happened and why he killed it.
A prominent memory from Drewe’s adolescence is the time he killed a shark to impress a girl.
Weave your work Move fluently between:
Discussing the prompt and tying it in with Whose Reality
The Shark Net Outside texts Anecdotal information
Using an exampleLooking at the example in today’s pack,
highlight the transitions between prompt and text.
