T2 W9 Thursday

Worship - Mrs Parker

Bible

The following story is about a special boy who didn't just pray to God, he learned to listen - or tune in - to God's voice even as a young boy.

Your teacher will either read from a book to you or you can watch this first video.

Watch this second video to get some further understanding of the story of Samuel and how he listened to God.

Two students look up and read the Bible story in:

1 Samuel 3:1-10
1 Samuel 3:19-21.

Here is where Samuel is next to Priest Eli on our timeline:

We can "hear" God talk to us through:

His word the Bible
Nature
Our thoughts and conscience
Other people
Prophets

We can also talk to God through prayer and He will respond in many different ways.

Sing along to this song again!

‘Show’ Techniques in Action

Telling is quick and easy but showing is much more powerful.

Your teacher will explain these two great ‘show’ techniques:

‘Walk a mile in their shoes’ – describe the topic or event from the perspective of someone the reader can relate to (point of view).
Paint word pictures – show the reader what you see, hear, touch, taste, smell and feel (emotions)

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes

Seeing an issue from the perspective of someone you care about creates empathy.

Watch the animation "Rang-Tan - Greenpeace" from the story "There's a Rang-Tan in My Bedroom".

Afterwards, turn to a partner and discuss the following:

How does the video start to make us empathise with the girl?
How does the video change our thinking by making us empathise with the orangutan?
What is the message of this video?
Why does seeing the issue through the eyes of both characters make the message more powerful?

2. Paint Word Pictures

Painting word pictures engages the reader's senses and makes them feel like they are there.

Imagine you have witnessed one of these events:

An ambulance driver speeding to an emergency.

A tree surgeon cutting down a huge tree.

A thunderstorm.

In pairs, imagine the scene and use "The Five + 1 Senses" chart to record what you...

saw
heard
could touch
tasted
smelt
felt (emotions)

Say all of these words as sentences to another pair of students and they will tell you theirs.

Art

As a class, discuss and examine the style and subjects of Ken Done's artworks.

Pay attention to the note of colours and shapes used.

Now it is your turn. The teacher will provide you with

A4 paper
Pencils
Oil Pastels

You will need to pick a famous Australian site and draw it using inspiration from Ken Done. Once you have drawn your artwork, it is time to add some colour. Check with your teacher first and then use the Oil Pastels.

Look at more images of Ken Done's work for inspiration here, or look at the slide show below:

Copy of Ken Done

If you complete your Ken Done picture, then begin one of the following:

Aerial perspective - Cityscape

This exercise challenges the student to control pencil pressure, evaluating tonal ranges so as to successfully evoke distance and diminution of objects as affected by aerial perspective.

In the corner of an A4 landscape sheet, a small 5 box grid is drawn for the student to graduate from very pale grey in box 1 through to darkest black achievable from a 2B pencil. Across the width, at approx. 1/3 down from top a skyline is drawn, as a line only, showing small buildings at a distance.

At halfway down, another line is drawn showing building outlines appearing closer to us – at about 1/3 from bottom of sheet - a third line is drawn showing closer buildings still. The farthest away skyline area is toned in using darkest tone, the next skyline back uses the next lighter tone and the farthest away uses a very pale grey tone. Aerial perspective of a city landscape is conveyed.

A street-scape can be added to bottom of page, emphasising scale and clarity of things closer to us

2. Significant Sites Collage

For this artwork, you will need to choose an Australian Significant Site (It must be different than what you chose for the Ken Done artwork).

You will get a chance to sketch this site on white paper before creating a collage.

Use bold shapes in your sketch as fine detail can be difficult to collage. Draw inspiration from the given site:
