Year+9

 
 * __Welcome Year 9__**

This page is under construction Term Two is well underway. You are all doing so well in completing your homework, asking great questions and contributing fantastic ideas in class - well done!

We will continue the film study until the end of this term. The film we are studying is __//Alex - The Spirit of a Champion.//__ (1995) Directed by Megan Simpson. The film is based on a book by Fleur Beale. So far we have seen the film through once, studied film techniques and discussed many of the major ideas and themes in the film. There are two pieces of assessment for this study - a film review and a static image. Both pieces of assessment will be taught in class, and you will work on them in class and for homework.

__Week 3 and 4:__ What are we doing in class right now? We are close viewing important scenes in the film. We are making notes in class about what we are seeing and discussing ideas we need for both the film review and the static image assessments.

In these weeks you have two homework assignments. The __ Camera Shots and storyboard task __ is to show that you understand, and can use and explain the camera shots and angles we studied in class. This is due on Monday 18th May for 9JL and Tuesday 19th May for 9RD.

The __key terms and words spelling list__ is to make sure you are confident about spelling the words you will use in your film review. Learning to spell these words now will help to reduce your errors and proofing time when we write. The test could be at //any time// during week 4 so be prepared!
