6W started to investigate Star Wars (The original film from 1977 of course - not the newer ones) and thought about how the film borrowed ideas from different genres of text such as Comedy, Sci-Fi, Adventure and Mystery.
We also talked about how the film-makers had used lots of contrasts to show differences in characters and changes in settings and emotions during the film - especially during the scene illustrated above!
We discussed how anything created by an author could be a text - a poster, a painting, a photo, a song, a film, a novel, a comic...
Many members of the class listed interesting examples of texts in many genres.
Perhaps we shall watch some more this week before writing our own adventure story!
Mr W
