For your 'Viewing' activity this week you will be watching a short, silent animation film called 'A Shadow of Blue'. Like with all viewing activities you will need to watch carefully and pay attention to detail, especially as this film has no dialogue (talking!). Once you have finished watching the clip you will need to answer some questions. However, instead of writing all of the answers down in your English book, I would like you to use VoiceThread to record your responses. You may need to find a quiet spot to record yourself so that your voice is nice and clear. While working on the iPads you will need to use this link https://voicethread.com/share/4738012/. To create your own identity find an image or icon (not a photo of yourself) and save into your folder. Click on my icon and then click create a new identity and upload you image then you are right to go. If you have any questions please ask before you begin!
