ENG2 P - Step 5 of the Musician Project
Okay, it’s time to do a little bit of inferencing and making connections.
I want you to think about some aspects of your artist that may not be obvious.
You’re going to have to think about how your artist appeals to groups and uses aspect other than his/her musical skill.
What is the target audience of your artist? Be specific and try to think of the kind of people who are in your performer’s fan base. Describe how your artist appeals to that target audience.
What attitude does your artist have? What kinds of messages, morals and ideals does your artist give to the people in his/her audience? Think of the lyrics, the styles, the content of music videos and what he/she says in interviews.
How does fashion and style play a part in your artist’s career? Discuss your artist’s LOOK and style. What value does it bring, if any?
What would your parents think of this artist? Write a paragraph giving what you think of this performer in your parent’s voice and giving reasons for what that parent thinks.

What is your opinion of the teacher who removed all the toys from his class and gave the 3-4 year-olds cardboard boxes and raw materials to play with?
What do you think is good or bad about this?
How would you have reacted to this as a kid?
What do you think schools are doing to your creativity?
Then:
Working on rough work for Step 5, Question 3.
T-charts would be good for this.
We want to be able to prepare for any kind of question.

Journal 21
How do you think you are being controlled by forces around you? Not scientific, not parents, not simple things, I mean big, powerful governments, companies and corporations.
ads
tv shows
movies
music
fashion
certain laws
video games
etc
Pattern for Rough Work - what do I think? What is the topic sentence? What is the example? What is my reasoning?
What is fashion?
What is style?
Before we can answer Question 3, we have to know what we’re talking about.
In some inference and making connections questions, you can spend some lines of your answer DEFINING TERMS. You can look at the meaning of the subject before you discuss the subject.
You might need to do some pre-thinking.

How Do I Ensure That I Have Enough To Write A Full News Article?
One of the problems students have in writing the OSSLT is in filling all the space that is required.
And, one of the questions that has been a problem for our students in the past is writing a news article from the
In marking these tests (and the Grade Nine practice tests) over the years, I have a few tips that may help you to generate enough good story content.
What are the Parts of a News Article?
The first paragraph is a quick overview of what happened, where it happened, when it happened and any big effect of what happened.
Strategy - you need to decide the 5 Ws.
Who?
What? (what is the story really about)
Where?
When?
When you get the photo, you can do these FOUR things:
1. Look at the photo and think of the most interesting thing that this COULD POSSIBLY be. Look at the photo and think about what the MOST DRAMATIC thing could be.
2. A GOOD TRICK - look at the other elements in the photo and think about possibilities from all that stuff - not just the subject -
3. What KIND of person could this be in the photo? What do those kinds of people do? (this is bringing your own knowledge into play)
4. BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER - how did this picture come to be? What happened to get here? Where is it going?
