Create a concept map for a local natural or built environment.
- In small groups, students list examples of natural and built features in your local environment. Share and discuss responses. (RS2.8).
Discuss Book Week, the short list and the process of selection. Use the following to structure a discussion:
- Cover What does a book cover tell us? What predictions can we make about the story?
- Endpapers How do the endpapers take you into the story? What information is provided here? Do the endpapers set a mood for what is to follow?
- Title Page Look at the font used and the illustration-How are you positioned as a reader? How is your reading of the book directed?
- Authors that students have met, favourites and their websites.
- Size How does the size affect your response to the book? Does the size encourage sharing or the private viewing of the book?
- Format The picture book will be in a square, vertical or horizontal format. The format affects the shape that the artist fills with pictures. How does the shape affect what the artist can show? (based on A visual literacy unit for students in Years 7 and 8)
