The pictures we encounter can have a huge impact upon our view of life and how it should be lived. Most often they are used to entertain us and remind of us of good times. Images can also make what seems unbelievable and incomprehensible all too real.

What are some images that provoke your thinking on the context?

Have you encountered any images that make you think of the set texts?

Explain how any of the images you view in relation to the context inspire ideas for writing that resonate with the set text.

You can use flickr, etc, to post images to this page. If you are not sure about the copyright of an image you want to present use a hyperlink to direct others to it. Some of you might like to add pictures/paintings that you have created. You might also like to present a photo of your own.

Your S/N Task - Exploring the Context - Some further points

Aim to create four posts for The Secret River . You need to complete a post for the Picture Panic, Text Tremors, Film Flogging and Music Matters areas of the blog.



The posts will discuss articles of your choice. Your discussion should consider the article in relation to the context of Encountering Conflict and highlight any connections between The Secret River and the article. Include an idea for a piece of writing you think the material would inspire, try to note the form and audience for the piece.

So, have a go. Don't panic about doing it right or wrong, in this case it's about the discussion we can generate and the ideas that will put us in a strong position from which to tackle the SACs and exam.

If you see something put up by someone else that gets you thinking leave them a comment. If you come across something that inspires you in regards to The Rugmaker put a post up about that too. Good Luck.
