Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

As you have all worked so hard on your poetry assessment, we will have a special chocolatey treat and look at the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, based on popular poet and author Roald Dahl’s novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I hope you enjoy the film and that you learn something from the Oompa Loompas’ songs.

THE MUPPETS ~ Film Study

We will be finishing off our Term 2 work with a study of the feature  film The Muppets. Just like when we study a novel we have specific terms to learn, there is lots of film language to learn as well.

You will be learning all about the symbolic, written, audio and technical codes of films and how they all work together so that you can make meaning of what you are viewing.

I have put some resources we will be using under the link called THE MUPPETS ~ Film study. I hope you enjoy this unit of work.
