This week you are required to complete all of the tasks below.  You have the choice of when you attempt a particular task, however they must all be completed by the end of Week 4.  Unfinished tasks become homework (with the exception of the tutorial).

1. On your Weebly create a sub-page titled 'Hook Me Up'.
2. Insert the YouTube video of the lyrics.
3. Select 4 identity quotes from the text.
4. Record each quote, identify the technique/s it contains, and explain what it says about identity.

• Poem - Kaleidoscope by Vicki Bennet

1. Annotate the poem for its techniques and identity ideas
2. Compose conceptual statements that summarise the identity ideas.
3. Create a collage using Photovisi that represents the poem's key ideas and insert it on your Weebly under a sub-page titled, 'Kaleidoscope'.  

• Short Story - Carpe Diem by Maria Nuttick and My Father's Hands by Calvin Worthington
