NEW ENGLISH MAIN LESSON: Coming this Thursday August 26
DUE to remote learning - the first three days of Main Lesson must be spent on VCE English in order to catch up.
We must be finished questions for ALL chapters by the end of the week/start of next week. I cannot give more than 3 days of the Main Lesson, which means that we will need to get through 10 Chapters this week (2 a day - including Main Lesson and normal English lesson times. It may get repetitive - but its only for a week!) - I will also post some other videos and things to help.
That will leave us next week to compare the texts further, read Themes and Characters handouts prepare for the SAC - in week 9 - hopefully at school; if not, at home towards the end of the week - to give you more time to prepare.
PLEASE GO TO ENGLISH PAGE FOR THE WORK.

Dear Class 11s,
Well done on making it to the end of the Main Lesson during lockdown. Today is a catch-up day and end of ML test/quiz. The test is open book which means you are welcome to look at you Main Lesson notes, the lesson PDFs, and any other resources. Allow approximately 30 minutes to complete the task.
Quiz can be found here: https://forms.gle/pMHBvB9kvTQHnGHfA

Dear Class 11s,
I hope you are all enjoying researching the artist you've chosen. If you're following Monday's prescribed timeline then you will be up to experimenting with the skills and techniques that your artist used. If we were at school then you would have access to specialist equipment and resources to be able to do this, therefore, being at home makes this part of the assignment challenging if you don't have a supply of paints, pastels, papers, etc. To overcome this challenge, I'd like you to think creatively and ask yourself, how can I create a similar visual effect as my artist using what I have at home? Modernism was all about experimenting so think outside the box. For example, using tea or coffee to create washes or making homemade play-dough or paints. Have a look around your home and use whatever you can.
Once you've done some trials and are feeling confidence, you can begin creating your replica of one of your artist's pieces.
Have fun with this activity :-)

Dear Class 11s,
I hope you are all enjoying your research. I recommend that you spend today working on the art analysis section of your assignment. To help you do this I have created a drafting page that has some additional points and examples for you to follow. You don't have to use it and I won't be marking it. It is simply there to help you do your analysis.
By the end of the day I would like everyone to send in a photo or two of their Main Lesson book so as I can see how you are all going. You can send in work from last week or this week. I won't be scrutinising what you've done, I just want to get an insight into how you are all going.
Tomorrow I will be posting some pointers on how to make a copy of your chosen artwork.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions: rspencer@lyss.vic.edu.au

The assignment questions are here.
You are welcome to work through these at your own pace, however, I recommend the following timeline:
MONDAY - Biographical research
TUESDAY - Art analysis (I will be posting some support material for doing this on Tuesday)
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY - Artwork reproduction
FRIDAY - Catch up/finishing touches, and end of Main Lesson quiz.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
