If you are looking for inspiration you might like to check out the links that Ms Wood has used with her class in the post below. Work hard!
I'm presenting at a conference today guys, but that doesn't change the fact that we have an extended session today!
You can either work in the Study Centre or in the Hums building, but please see Ms O'Neill to get your name marked off. As you can probably predict, you need to be working on KK2, with the aim of producing a piece of writing by the end of the week. Remember, it is all about practice!! To break up the lesson, feel free to watch the videos below - the first group explore the response in the media to Sonia Kruger's comments on the Today show in regards to her views on Muslim immigration, as well as Pauline Hanson appearing on Q&A and how she has been portrayed. The second group looks at the controversy surrounding Melania Trump's speech at the Republican Convention in the US and the comparisons drawn to Michelle Obama's speech in 2008, and what the media is now focussing on, instead of the election. Also, consider if it is a coincidence that one of the key parts of the election was the Marriage Equality debate, and now, it seems that the Liberal Party are going to push back the plebiscite to next year...
