This term, Year 6 has been reading Blueback<\/em> by Tim Winton. The students of 6McL have spent time exploring different text types. When researching interesting facts about the blue groper, students compared and considered the features of informational texts compared to the descriptive language used to describe Blueback in the novel. The girls drew Blueback as they saw him described by Tim Winton using evidence from the novel to label his personality, whilst comparing these descriptions to facts about blue gropers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another text type that we have explored is poetry. Throughout the term a pivotal focus point of the novel is the relationship between Blueback and the main character Abel Jackson. Students studied the expressive language used to describe this relationship in the novel whilst examining the fundamentals of poetry. The girls have been working hard on their own poems describing this important relationship of the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
