Grade 9 is continuing to study the ‘Why Travel?’ unit. We have looked at reasons why people travel and where they might go. We have revisited work on advertising techniques and applied those to advertisements for travel. Students have just completed their own travel adverts and we are part way through presentations: students explain the techniques they used and analyse the effectiveness of their adverts for the chosen audience. Later in the unit we will investigate forms of travel writing, travel programmes on tv and vlogs, evaluating their use of conventions and comparing similarities and differences. They will create their own vlogs.
