U:\English\Ks 3\Boy In Striped Pyjamas\Final Solution
Millions of Jews, political prisoners, prisoners of war, disabled people and gypsies were sent to Auschwitz where the majority were murdered by the Nazis; Auschwitz was an ideal location for the Nazis to carry out these crimes due to its access by rail lines transporting people from across Europe; while many German citizens were unaware of or indifferent to the treatment of Jews, Hitler had passed laws stripping Jewish people of rights and used propaganda to gain support for his racist policies, and Jewish people were being forcibly removed from their homes and concentrated into overcrowded ghettos before being deported to camps.
Power Presentation
This document discusses using technology and Web 2.0 tools to integrate digital teaching into English classes at Wellington College. It defines Web 1.0 as presenting information without audience interaction, while Web 2.0 allows information sharing and response. Examples of how tools like Wikis, Moodle, YouTube and SlideShare can be used to engage students and link to the new curriculum's key competencies of thinking, relating to others, and using language and text. The focus is on using ICT effectively as a teaching tool rather than something used once in a while.
James Test 2
This document contains a series of chapter summaries and discussion questions about the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. It begins with an introduction to the setting and characters in Maycomb, Alabama, including Atticus Finch, his children Jem and Scout, and their mysterious neighbor Boo Radley. Subsequent chapters discuss Scout starting school, the Cunningham family's poverty, Jem, Scout and their friend Dill attempting to interact with Boo Radley, and the aftermath of the trial of Tom Robinson, in which Atticus served as the defense lawyer. Key themes of racial injustice and the importance of integrity are explored throughout the novel via Atticus' words and actions.
Red Character Study
Red observes the new prisoners entering Shawshank prison. He and the other prisoners make bets about the new inmates, believing Andy looks weak. High-angle shots show the prisoners as insignificant in the large prison surroundings. The crowd treats the new prisoners like entertainment, further establishing the social hierarchy with Red at the top. Andy shows distaste for his new environment in a close-up, an impression important to Red's first view of Andy. Red then begins taking bets from the other prisoners, reinforcing his dominant position as the top inmate.
Doctors Scene
The document analyzes key shots from the film "Life is Beautiful" that establish important context:
1) An establishing shot shows the concentration camp infirmary setting and hints that main character Guido may be deemed unfit for work.
2) A mid shot reveals Guido's surprise as he recognizes his friend among the prisoners being inspected.
3) An over-the-shoulder shot shows the doctor recognizes Guido from their past relationship, hinting this may help ensure Guido's survival in the camp.
A Time for Mozart
This scene from The Shawshank Redemption shows Andy playing music in the prison yard for the first time. When the music starts, the reaction shots show that all the prisoners and guards stop to listen, astonished at the music. Andy looks satisfied at the reaction, feeling a sense of achievement. The warden arrives angrily in response to the disruption, showing the shift back to the power dynamics where the prisoners are controlled.
