Dear Rappers,
You have met the challenges of Rap Points 1 and 2, so you must be ready for our final rap
point, rap point 3. This week’s
focus is a great way to look closely at the actions and wishes of the characters
in these picture books, and to think about how our world has been changed by
courageous people.
Here’s rap point 3:
Several characters in these books have personal wishes that
guide their actions.
(a) Describe the hopes and
dreams of a particular character, explain who and/or what characteristics helped
them to act upon their dream, and the resulting changes. (Rap sheet 8
will help you get started)
(b) “I have a dream……”
The personal dreams of many
people over the centuries have had an impact on our world.
Investigate how the hopes and
dreams of someone you know personally, or a more famous person, have helped to
shape, or change our world, and share your findings with other rappers. Your
response could be in the form of an extract from a biography, or a newspaper
article on the occasion of this person being given public recognition of their
achievement(s), such as an Order of
Australia.
Have fun! Just choosing your character, and then
the ‘real’ person to focus on, will be challenges in
themselves!
We look forward to reading your
responses!
Mrs
Chapman
(Book Week Rap
Coordinator)
