Yesterday we spent our first lesson together sharing texts we had read or watched that related to the following themes/ideas:
1. Texts which make us think about a familiar topic in new ways
2. Texts which explore a topic from different perspectives
3. Texts which explore healing a broken heart
4. Texts which explore justice and prejudice
As each group presented aspects of their discussion, I was looking to learn more about your reading interests and history, and to see if any common topics or themes emerged. Out of the presentation, I decided that we would explore aspects of war. This is a topic with huge and wide ranging potential.
Before we start our first short story, I want us to think about the different possible perspectives on war and experiences of war. Each of us will find 4-8 images of war to represent the perspectives we think could exist, and make a drawing to show this, which we will save as a jpeg and then upload to our padlet on this blog:
