Hope Against Hope

Welcome back to Term 2. I hope that you have all had a restful and enjoyable break with family and friends.
This week we are going to begin to respond to some of the significant chapters in our novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. The chapter that we are going to reread, discuss and respond to is called,'Hope Against Hope'. This is a powerful chapter that has a very important message.

We will continue to develop our reading skills by reading a different text each week and respond to this text in a variety of ways. This week we are going to continue to develop our summarizing skills.
We will use an article from the Press about the reopening of The Kennedy's Bush Track in the Port Hills. We will also look at the ways being in the outdoors can make a difference to people's moods and feelings.

All of this work can be found in the Hapara workspace.

The Second Text: Kanoro from 'The Weight of Water' by Sarah Crossan

In class on Tuesday the 27 of March we are going to continue to identify the ways in which we can connect our second text,'Kanoro' to the short film, 'The Dump'. We will work together to identify the main  ideas, from both of the texts, then work to describe and explain how and why they they are similar. We will be focusing on developing full sentence answers using part of the question to frame our answer, as well as using in some of the questions the SEX-Y paragraph structure. Each lesson will continue to follow the format of writing in response to the BIG QUESTION task, then we will be continuing with our class novel, 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' by Sherman Alexie. The aim for the week is to complete all written work connecting the main ideas from the second text - Kanoro to our first visual text, the short New Zealand film, 'The Dump'.
