LIVIN' ON THE ROAD

**EXPLANATION OF THE RESOURCE: **
====This travel blog is a resource taken from a website travel blog called, "Livin' on the Road". It is about a family who are traveling around Australia with their four children and describing their experiences through this blog for all to see. It includes images, videos and text from both the parents point of view as well as the children's. ====

﻿ This travel blog is relevant to the outcome ENS2.5 as it describes places that they have travelled in their local area at any given time, including a variety of areas within Australia and their significance. In some cases they have described what areas may be better for tourists or whether they are in an area that is used more by locals within the area.
 * RELEVANCE TO HSIE OUTCOME ENS2.5 **

Aspects of literacy that can be explored include both visual and written grammar. As expressed in Lesson B, this resource can be used to assist in the recognition of what a recount is and what the key grammatical features are. In the case of Lesson B the key grammatical features are using a variety of time connectives and a range of adjectives to use in the recount. It is a great resource when it comes to looking at the structure of a literary recount and how the past tense is used to describe a series of events.
 * ASPECTS OF LITERACY TO BE EXPLORED **

As far as visual literacy is concerned, this resource may be helpful when teaching visual grammar as there are such a range of photos with such a variety of subject matter, viewpoints, lines and vectors, colour, focus, camera angles, placement of text, demand and offer etc... for the teacher to talk about with their students. This may be used across a number of different lessons that require a particular focus and understanding in order to progress through the english outcomes for their stage. This can also be related to the outcome that is being addressed for this particular topic as it describes places in the local area and other parts of Australia and their significance.
