In today's class we were responding to descriptive texts. We have looked at a text as a class, I have shown you how I would justify a text and you have worked with partners.
Now its your turn, for MONDAY, you need to find a descriptive text and justify to me why it is descriptive. I will be marking this; I will be looking to see if you can determine what is and what is not descriptive as well as justify (using the criteria) if a text is descriptive. I am your English teacher, so I will also be looking at spelling and grammar.
(in addition to your answer you must bring in a copy of the text - anyone who needs me to photocopy part of a text needs to see me at recess)

P.S. scholastic is due tomorrow.

I am still missing some media projects. I need them ASAP!!!!!
Since we have now finished our media unit, we are turning our attention to reading and writing descriptive texts. The focus of this week will be on identifying what is a descriptive text and reading a variety of texts to determine if they are descriptive or not. You will need to be able to justify whether or not a text is descriptive - I will go over this with in class. Then we will then work on how to make you writing more descriptive.
For homework: Read the text Queen of the Jungle again and answer the question; what makes this a descriptive text? This should be easy since you took a note on the criteria of a descriptive text, we read the text together and discussed it. This is due tomorrow.
Ms. B
P.S. its Winter Fun day tomorrow, make sure you are ready to be outside for an extended period of time. :)

Not everyone handed in their media evaluation, to those who did THANK YOU!!!!! To those who did not, please have it in this week.
For homework today, complete step one of the logo assignment. You need to find 10 logos you like and 10 logos you dislike. Print them out or cut them from a magazine and paste them to the logo handout. Don't forget to draw conclusions about why you like or dislike the logo. Think about colour, colour contrast, fonts, images ect. We will talk about this tomorrow, and create a class list.
Hint: I am asking why you like the logo, it has nothing to do with the product.

WELCOME BACK !!!!!!
We started the year off with a reflection and goal setting activity. You should have a sheet of paper with 2011 printed on one side and 2012 printed on the other. You are to write accomplishments (things you are proud of) on the 2011 side and goals for this new year on the 2012 side. Make sure you think of a combination of school and personal accomplishments/goals and fill in each letter. Once you are done you should colour it in.
This is due tomorrow.
We are also moving on to our media unit on Logos and their importance in advertising. This unit will keep us busy for the next couple of weeks. Over the course of this unit we will be looking at logos, and one place you can often find logos are in magazines. If anyone has any magazines they are looking to get rid of (and you don’t mind them being cut up) donations are always welcome.
