Dear Fellow Rappers,
Well we seem to have all 'muggled' through the first week and we have all
done our sign-ons and sorted out our introductions. It has been a very
exciting week meeting you all and getting to know something about you. Are
you keeping up to date with reading all the emails as they come in ? They
are causing a lot of interest and we were very glad to get in so many from
so far afield. It is also fun to keep track of where we all are on the Rap
Maps which can be found on the Rap Home page.
So here is the first rap point. We hope you all enjoy it.
Rap point 1
Term 4, Week 5: (week beginning 11 November 2002)
Ron's father, Mr Weasley, works for the Ministry of Magic, in the Misuse of
Muggle Artifacts Office. His job is to investigate things that are
Muggle-made and have been bewitched, for example, the tea set described on
pages 28 and 29; shrinking door keys, or a biting kettle. Mr Weasley himself
owns a flying car!
Work in groups and use Rap sheet 1 to record examples of Muggle-made items
and what you think they might do if they were bewitched.
Imagine you are an employee in Mr Weasley's department. Write a report on a
bewitched Muggle-made item you have investigated. Rap sheet 2 may help you
to plan your report.
Send your report to the rap.
You may also like to illustrate your Muggle-made item. Your teacher could
select a few of these illustrations to send to the rap gallery.
Information on how to send your responses to the Rap
Please email your responses to the rap for each of the rap points. Send
these to harrypotter_rap@list.schools.nsw.edu.au
In the subject box, please type a relevant heading such as:
" Rap point 1 <school name> "

All messages sent to this students' listserv will automatically have the
prefix Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in the subject line for easy
identification. There is no need for you to type this.
However any work set out in a special way or with illustrations can be sent
