In English I have been working on how characters are developed in the Coraline Film. We had a choice to either create a challenge chart or a resume. I had created two resumes about two lead characters, explaining how the character is portrayed using specific examples from the text. I had to include interesting facts about them, challenges they faced and words that best describe them. I have done this on Piktochart and a new site called postermywall. I hope you learn something and enjoy my work.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

English Film Study - Coraline Plot
In English I have been working on analysing the plot of the Coraline Film. I had to create a timeline explaining how the film plot is constructed to engage a viewer using technical language. The words we used was Exposition, Complication/Challenge, Rising Action, Falling Action, Climax, Resolution and Denouement. I have displayed this on a new digital site, Venngage. I hope this jogs your memory of the film and enjoy my work.

The Film Coraline - Mindmup
In English, I have been working on Themes and Ideas for The Coraline Film that we have previously watched in Term 3. There were two tasks to choose from, either using Coggle, creating a mind map showing as many examples explaining one of the themes, or writing a theme guide booklet explaining how each theme is shown in the film, giving the times to stop and look, quotes and key moments to watch for. I have chosen to go with Coggle but suggested to do it on Mindmup because it was easier and less confusing. The theme I am doing is "Looks Can Be Deceiving".
I hope you enjoy and learn something from the film and my work.
What am I learning? I am learning to analyse the looks of the characters.
How does this work show my learning? This work shows my learning by creating a Mindmup which tells the audience the theme, and characters looks used in the film.
What am I wondering? I am not wondering anything at the moment.
