Dear rappers,
We’ve had several thoughtful responses to Rap Point One, and I have
really enjoyed seeing the world through the eyes of our animal characters. I loved the way the 6E rappers at
Colyton began their account with “It started as another normal day” - I felt a sense of anticipation right
from the beginning. 6E have chosen
some effective words and phrases in their description too, like stumbled,
self-esteem, gradually happening. I particularly liked your reference to a
magical barrier. You’ve
captured my ideas and feelings from the story so well. Terrific work!
Wollondilly rappers have taken us right inside the thinking of a
feathered character in Shutting the Chooks In and made me feel relieved
that the human in the story cared for his animals. Some great phrases and
descriptions here too 4/5C – your hard work has brought us a great response to
Rap Point 1.
Jemima the cat gave us a wonderful feel for her experiences through the
words of 5/6 Colyton rappers. I liked your twist about needing a shoe shop in
the opening paragraph! Your idea made me scurry off to take a closer look at the
pictures in the real book. I also liked the way Jemima helped us understand
Millie’s feelings and her surprise when she ‘danced so well’. Your response made great reading 5/6
rappers!
There is still plenty of time for other rappers to work on Rap Point 1 –
remember we’d rather read your quality response, the result of lots of thinking
and re-drafting, than have you rush
something through quickly. Keep
working on those recounts and send your best efforts, when you are pleased with
your work.
I’ll send Rap Point 2 in another message, and we look forward to reading
your responses.
Happy rapping,
Mrs Chapman
