Dear Rappers,
Its time to begin our rap work with the first discussion point on the
short-listed Picture Book of the Year titles.
Here is Rap Point 1. It
should be lots of fun so enjoy your explorations!
All
the Picture Book of the Year books include animals in one way or another.
Study one animal from one of the books in detail until you know it well.
Consider also the personality attributed to the animal in the book. (Rap sheets
1 to 5 will help you get started).
Using this information,
write a short piece recounting or describing ‘A day in my Life' through the eyes
of this animal, making sure your writing reflects the character and perspectives
of the animal portrayed in the book.
[If you want
to be really tricky, ask rappers to guess the animal who is telling the story.
Put Can you guess in the subject line.]
Send your written piece, and your guesses to the rap address to
share with other rappers. Send
your message to:
bookwk04_rap@list.schools.nsw.edu.au
If you think you can
guess a group's mystery animal, send a message to the rap address with the
school's name in the subject line, letting rappers know you are having a guess
e.g. Wollondilly, are we right?
We look forward to reading your response to Rap Point 1 soon. I wonder
which animal you’ll choose?
Happy rapping,
Mrs Chapman
(Book Week rap coordinator)
