Compare and Contrast Horizon Texts

 


Compare and Contrast Texts: Paragraph  Synthesis  30.10.2020


Text One has a strong mood/atmosphere of positiveness.  Language features the writer used to show this mood were adjectives such as endless blue clear...,verbs such as hoping floating and believe and adverbs such as gently


  In comparison, Text Two has a strong mood/atmosphere of negativity Language features the writer used to show this mood were adjectives such as treacherous,scorched and ethereal..,verbs such as raged                                

escaped  and adverbs such as still


The difference in the moods created between the two texts is because of the connotative meanings of many of the words. Many words in  Text One made you feel positive..

 whereas many words in Text Two made you fell negative...


              These two texts are evidence that when writers choose words very

               carefully, they are able to create quite different moods even though the

               language tools they are using are the same.

Creepy Crawly

 In Term 4, Week One we had to solve a maths problem about creepy crawlies in an alien zoo.  Some had 4 legs and some had 3. We had to have a combination of 3 legged animals and 4 legged animals to make 48 legs in total. I had so much fun with this activity. Here is my work. I hope you enjoy it.
