Activity+3

**

Activity 3** Write a letter (diary entry) in the form of a character, writing to someone significant in your life. This may be for example:


 * A farmer's wife writing to her husband who was a convict in Hyde Park Barracks, with an additional drawing detailing and describing these conditions pictorially.


 * A British General writing to his Commanding Officer in England, detailing what the environmental conditions are like here in Australia (humid temperatures and arid, rocky and dry environments with limited access to fresh water for plantation). Draw an additional drawing detailing and describing these harsh conditions.


 * An Indigenous Australian writing a diary entry to another native, with an additional drawing detailing and describing the invasion pictorially. This drawing will be done on another piece of paper, and then be stapled together.

Your letter will be assessed on your use of: - verbs (doing words) - adjectives (describing words) - nouns (names of objects, persons, places or things) - character formation - content - spelling and grammar

Underneath are resources that can help you by setting the mood for your diary entry.
