The Assessment: Formal and Creative Writing.

Friday 22 September's Learning.

We have read the novel, worked on questions and summaries and we have enjoyed the film which gave you a visual understanding of the reality of the life for the characters in the book and their community. The film really highlighted the issues around dumpsite communities, the extreme poverty and differences in wealth between the rich and the poor. It also helped us understand the issues of police brutality and corruption, it also emphasized the strong friendship between the boys and the power of hope and doing the right thing.

We will now be working to complete the assessments for this unit. This is a piece of formal and creative writing. These tasks are in the Hapara workspace. You will spend the rest of the term working to complete these tasks.

You can use your chapter summaries  and the novel to help you as you work through these tasks.
