<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Conflict</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The essence of fiction. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It creates plot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The conflicts we encounter can usually be identified as one of four kinds: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Character vs Character, Character vs Nature, Character vs Society, or Character vs Self.</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In writing time today we read the story The Lorax By Dr Seuss.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an example of Character vs Nature conflict and is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> a metaphor for those concerned with the environment.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We identified the problem/conflict </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(between character and nature) in this story and identified<br />
how we think this problem could have been resolved earlier in the story.<br />
<br />
<i>'The conflict in The Lorax happened because the Lorax had a nice forest filled with Truffula trees, beautiful blue water for the fish, spectacular places for the birds to sing and lots of space for the bears. But one day the Onceler was going through the town and decided he wanted to use the Truffula trees to make Thneeds. He made a big factory and cut down all of the Truffula trees...' - Hamish</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>'The conflict in The Lorax happened because the Onceler was cutting down trees. The Lorax was trying to prevent that, but the Onceler was making money, making a community and getting people jobs so he wanted to carry this on.' - Cerianne.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>'The Onceler could have only cut off the furry stuff </i><br />
<i>(of the Truffula tree) not the whole tree.' - Wilson</i><br />
<i>'The green man (the Onceler) could have only </i><br />
<i>taken some<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><i> of the trees (and left some).' - Kurtis</i></span></i><br />
<i>'The Onceler could spend some of the money </i><br />
<i>that he had earnt on (Truffula) seeds.' - Kurtis</i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are currently learning to describe settings and characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been doing this by considering what we notice with our 5 senses, and to think carefully </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about the choices of language (language features) that we use to 'paint a picture' with our words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>To begin our latest piece of writing we watched these two videos....</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stopped after the first 20 seconds of the first video to discuss how we would be feeling at this point and what our senses would be noticing. We discussed our level of tension at this point and the language we could use to help us to share this with our audience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/LbN3NU4hIZg?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>We then watched the next video...</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Miss White asked us to watch the boys facial expressions and body language very carefully.<br />
Which things in particular 'show' you how he is feeling? <br />
Your audience for your story can't see a video of your writing.<br />
Which words are you going to use to help them see this picture in their heads with such detail?<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8XQzQYFYfy8?rel=0" width="420"></iframe></b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Wasn't that video gorgeous! Miss White loves watching it. The boys feelings are very obvious to see and we can very clearly identify when his feelings change by his facial expressions (pure fear in his eyes/laughing) and his body language (gripping the bar for dear life/not capable of answering his companion). It is a very expressive video.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are learning about <b>prepositions</b> this week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prepositions are words that can help show where, how and when something took place. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example; among, behind, through and beneath are prepositions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">Read about prepositions </span><a href="http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0885526.html" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">here</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;"> and </span><a href="http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/prepositions" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">here</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">...then watch this video of the story <i>Scattercat</i> by <i>Lynley Dodd.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">See if you can recognise the prepositions that she uses in the story.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span></div>
