I'm looking forward
to joining with you in this exciting adventure with The
Rabbits.
Currently I am
the Senior Curriculum Adviser, English 7-12 at Curriculum K-12 Directorate, located at Ryde
State Office, in the middle of metropolitan Sydney, but I like to travel all
over the state to get to know your teachers. Recently I have enjoyed meeting many new faces at the Years
7-10 English workshops where I've been
encouraging your teachers
to have students join this rap.
The Rabbits is a great text to use in an English class as it met many requirements of the
new syllabus. There is the additional
incentive for you to be involved with he rap as it allows you to
respond and compose texts for a real
purpose and audience as well as integrating the use of ICT into English activities in meaningful
ways. It is also important because its visual
aspects contribute to make this text one with many layers of
meaning.
I would also
like to thank the team from Macintyre High School for putting together such
an engaging and interesting rap. I'm looking forward to hearing from you
throughout the next few weeks.
Kerry
