Mood and Atmosphere - Language Features by Emmanuel

LI: To identify how authors use language features to create mood and atmosphere in a text.

 

We have been exploring the ways writers use words to create mood and atmosphere in a text. You can see the ways the author used different language features to create mood and atmosphere in this text by looking at the examples we have highlighted and explained in our DLO. I found this challenging because we had to define different words that we didn't know that were related to mood and emotion.

Provcation by Mahdi

LI: To make an informed opinion 

 

A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the experiences of the men of Te Hokowhitu - a - tu, the first Maori Battalion in WW1. These men had very different experiences to the men who signed up today. Our challenge throughout this unit has been to answer the question: Should the men of the native contingent have had the right to prove their mettle at the front? After completing the tasks and reading a wide variety of texts our group’s response to the provocation is we think that that the Maori should've had the right to fight.
