The Elizabethan Era
This era was during the years of 1558-1603 and one of the most interesting eras in the history of England. It existed during the ruling of Queen Elizabeth I, and in english history is also be known as the ‘Golden Age’. Characteristics such as it’s Polictics, Religion, Crime Punishment and Clothing all had a big influence in this era and distinguishes this it from other eras. During the ’Golden Age’ many new accomplishments were made such as new style plays never seen before composed by William Shakespeare and the very first theatres in England.

Globe Theatre
Simply put, it was the first theatre in London with a seating of 1500+ people and was associated with William Shakespeare where his plays and others became very famous and more demanded by watchers. This roman styled theatre was erected in 1599 but later burned down in the year of 1613. Following this a second theatre was built in 1614 but later closed down in 1642. Then in 1997 a modern version of the theatre was built a couple hundred metres from the original theatre site.

What are the typical features that all shakespeare plays must include?
In my opinion, generally shakespeare’s plays would have a complication, climax and eventually a solution, it can be dragged out for a long time or can be short and concise. Also depending on what theme the play was on there are varying typical features and characteristics included.

A book by John Marsden and Shaun Tan.
The picture book the rabbits creates a range of themes and a
meaning using visual techniques such as Interactive, Representation
and Compositional. This book's meaning is to show the Destruction and
Change that happened as soon as the British settlers "The Rabbits" arrived.
Below i will identify how techniques were used to create meanings and
promote the theme. On the 4th Double Page Spread the theme was to show the
Dominance and Power of the British, Vector Lines as visible around the page shows us
the direction and plane of the rabbits and
Salience (The big golden ship) were used to
show this theme. On the 4th DPS the highly contextualised modality using brigh colours
such as Blues, Golds, Reds also
helped in putting foward the theme along with the social distance and angle
(horizontal) used creating an important significant relationship with the viewer.
Overall this page engages the viewer to judge and observe what had really happened.
Now i will analyse the 12th Double Page Spread. It's theme was to show the
British sucking the life out of the land and how they have dominated and
conquered and multiplied in this newly found land. In this DPS there was a
low modality, with very strong symbols and vector lines directing our reading path.
 Symbols such as the crown on the salient image represents the power of the
rabbits and the clocks on the buildings represent how time is ticking away
for the possums. And the fact that there are so many rabbits and so little
possums symbolise how they have actually taken over the land. There also
was a non exist frame in this DPS as with the previous one symbolising that
our worlds are not restricted from each other and that the world being
portayed in the book is really our world today.
In conclusion the rabbits book has strongly used Interactive, Representation
and Compositional visual techniques to teach us and convey the intended
meaning/message and themes of the book. And if you haven't figured it out
yet the message is about how the British settlers Destroyed and Corrupted
the once Aboriginal owned land and the changes that made the land a stranger
to its former people.

What significant moment in Indigenous History occurs this week?How may you use this as supplementary material?

What is your aim for this lesson?

A. This week the significant event that occurs for aboriginal people was the apology to aboriginal people who were part of the stolen generation.

A2. We can use this apology as one of the most significant events for aboriginal people when we are designing our timeling for our preamble.

A3. My aim for this lesson is to dig in depth about the stolen generation and information about it.
