Dear Rappers,
It was great to see your responses to Rap Point 1 Mater Maria and VET.
Please feel free to comment on each others ideas.
If there are any other schools that have not introduced themselves, or sent
their first rap point in, you can still do so.
Rap Point 2 can now be posted to the rap.The questions are as follows:
Only the heart follows the events in the life of the Vo family through the
perspectives of different characters. Through the authors’ use of this
technique, we come to understand the story more fully, and gain a more
rounded and comprehensive picture of events.
Rap Point 2 (a):
Discuss with the rap how four different accounts of the Vo family’s escape
from Vietnam help to create a vivid picture for the reader. Consider how the
authors use language to do this.
Activity: Consider the family’s escape from Vietnam through the eyes of:
Grandma pp 37-39
Toan pp 45-47
Minh pp 47-49
Hoa pp 51-54
Use Rap sheet 1 to note down the following:
What feelings are expressed by each character?
What are the reasons for these feelings?
How do things such as age, personality and past experiences influence each
characters’ view of the event?
Note language features which characterise each account eg. first
person/third person; descriptive/factual etc.
Remember to post your responses to the following email address:

I'm looking forward to reading your ideas.Happy rapping.
