1. How is the research going? the research that we are doing is going very well and that we ave been getting a lot of inofrmation about australia, like the population, cultural and physical environment, languages etc.

2. What do you know about imovie? What other multimedia possibilities have you considered for your presentation? i honestly do not know anything about i movie but, other multimedia possiblilites i could use for my presentation is power point and movie maker, but i decided to use imovie so i can learn on how to use it, because if i used powerpoint then i would never be able to to sell it to the board of governs.

1. How will you organise your multimedia sales pitch? List ideas, think about how the entry document was presented. Are you using maps, tables, graphs in word, in powerpoint, in moviemaker, imovie, neooffice or photoshop, google maps. Are you going to narrate your entry?

ways that we will orginaise our multimeia sales pitch is by doing a presentation but also using our voices as backup voices, talking about each topic that we have to talk about for the britannica online. then after that, we weill be showing how them 2 new maps that my group has made etc.

In written and visual format (i.e. words and maps), describe the Australian physical environment- its uniqueness, its hazards, its people and its vagaries.

the physical environments for australia is the forests and the tropic areas that are around the country like the trees and water and waterfallas etc. the uniquness is the appearance and the way the had been made for example when a waterfall was made. The hazards for the australian physical environment could be cyclones or the heat tempretur or hailing, thunder, lightning etc. the people live with the heat and the rain but its stuff like cyclones that damage the houses or the cities whihc is a bad thing.

Demands

Questions.

1. Look through The Rabbits, find an example of a demand and an offer. What is being demanded/offered to the viewer in each of the texts? That the big statue of the rabbit is like a leader or somone that has built the city for his fellow rabbits and that thhey made the city by taking over the land of the aboriginals.

Social Distance / Angle

Questions

1. Find two examples of where angles are used in The Rabbits. What meaning do they create? One example of the picture is the front where it looks like a very big stronge city that had taken years abnd years to make and that the leader has helped them run the country. In the picture that I am doing, it doesn’t show any other angle the the frontal, because it is showing you the whole city infront of you.

Modality

Questions

1. The modality of The Rabbits is high, the colours are bright and strong. Why do you think this is done? The colours in the picture is bright and dark and that it starts off as bright colours and which could mean that they are a happy city enjoying there time but when u start looking furthur into the picture u see that that the colours go really dark meaning that that is where all the bad things happen and that maybe it is where the owners of the land come and try to take back the land.

    

2. Is there evidence of illumination? What might this suggest?as I said in question one the birght could mean that the city is a normal city and that they have not done anythingy wrong but when u look in furthur to the picture u see the brightness of the colour go dark and adark. The big statue rabbit is holding a globe which represents the the world which means that they are the people that dominate the world and that in the the other hand it shows the staut holding a type of sword which could represent the strength of the city like when that had defeated the people to have the land and build a city

    

3. How would you describe the background? Why? In the background it is like a a very dark place that they don’t really go to and that it looks like heaps and heaps of factories and that it is where all the weapons are being made etc.

1. Representational Meanings

Who are the participants and what are their relationships to each other? The participants are the rabbits and they are a clan that have taken over a land and built a city and have built towers and factories and a statue of their leader.

Vectors/Reading Paths

Questions

1. What first attracts your gaze on your image? I see that the rabbits have made this city for them to liv in and that they have the full control of that land and no one could take over the land.

    

2. Can you see a vector (line) that suggests a relationship or lack of relationship between the participants in the image? What does this suggest about their relationship? Why? Yes the statue of the rabbit has surby lines and parts of the city like the road and aaaaaaother areas in the city as well.

    

3. What significance might the reading path have? The signifcance of the reading path is the group of the rabbits came and took ownershipof the lzand and made it there own.

Symbols / Motifs

Questions

1. Is there a strong symbol in the text. What might it symbolise? One of the first things that you would notice is on the DPS is the tall buiilding in the background and the aas that the rabbits are living which means that the rabbits have taken over the land just like the europeans did against the aboruiginals

    

2. Notice other smaller symbols surrounding the central image, what might the composer’s message be? Some small symbols would be the factories and the smoke which is where the rabbits are working and to get food so rthey can live just like the europeans did to the aboriginals and had taken away there food and drinks so they can live.

    

3. Colour is also symbolic and creates powerful connotations. What do you notice about the colours used in the image? Can you suggest why there might be strong contrasts in the colours? The stronge colours in the picture shows that the city is a pretty powerful place that is ruled by the rabbits which are the whit men, which they control because the white men took over the aboriginals land so they can live in it and make it theirs.

1. In groups (or as a class) read The Rabbits

2. Discuss what the meaning of the book is

 the message of the book is to symbolise that when the europeans came to australioa they had taken over the land o9f the aboriginals just like it really happenes a long long time ago. 9T is also showing that the eauropeans had one the land with out talking to the aboriginals about it and that they did not respect the aboriginals culture and on how they livee which made them liv out side when the europeans had built their houses with fences and if the aboriginals had resspast then they would be shot and killed and it would happen every time. Part of the book symbolises the myall creek massacre on how the europeans kill the aboriginals and also take the children that could have the white blood to be taken to a white family.

3. Make a list of some visual techniques that you think help creat these meanings -Eg: Colour, participants, setting- : 

List of visual techniques are: colour, texture, all the pictures have been exaggurated for examoply, the rabbit are in a suit and the land with the scultpur of rabbits and the big boat looks like a rabbit etc. the tone and shading of the pictures are light and dark, the use of shapes, the change of settings likefrom the land into a war then the end of the war.

4. Discuss what you think colours represent in this book: 

the light and bright colours give a mix message because they both represent t5he happiness and the great times of the natives known as aboriginals but which also represents the power and glory of the rabbits which are the white men. the darker colours show death and loss which occurs in the story

Evaluate your contribution to the group and your own work ethic? my contribution of the work that i have done is research the history of the aboriginals and all there habits and how the eurpoeans had come and had taken over their land.

What did you find your strengths and weaknesses were? some times i find it hard to research the information that i want but in the end when i find it i go and use the information in my own words and pass it on to my group to add it into the preamble.

which part of the exposition are you responsible for? my part of the exposition is the conclusion

What supplementary material are you using to back up your thesis points (your argument)? the supplamentary material i will be using to back up my thesis ponts are by getting pictures and examples of what i am talking about.

What is an exposition? writing a speech about a particular topic and arguing about it.

What is a thesis point? a thesis point is talking about the important things that happens in this topic and explaining them.

How is an exposition text type structured? an expostion starts with an introduction talking about what the topic is,  then u have the nexta paragraph using one of the thesis pointsd continueing on with the next few paragraphs then going on with the conclusion.

Are you staisfied with the groups progress so far? yes because the work that we are putting in are giving use the good marks we are looking for in our projects.

Who is not pulling their weight? i think everyone is pulling their weight because everyon in the group including me is also doing the work we are supposed to be doin to get good marks for our project.
