Today we discussed and annotated the title story ‘Island’, I was very impressed by your contributions and engagement.
Your homework for Wednesday is to read and highlight ‘The Road to Rankin’s Point’ p143. Also read the booklet p37-44
While discussing this story we examined the key themes of: loneliness, isolation of island, gender roles, family, reality vs illusion, place etc…
What a great feeling to have handed in your first text response on Island!!! You will receive some feedback later this week. Some interesting discussion about the power of place can be found in the ‘Supplementary Reading’ Booklet in the article titled: ‘Landscape and Memory’- please have a look at it.
Also- please read through the comments/feedback on your first SAC and discuss any queries with me. Your marks are now up on SchoolBox.
