Our reading focus was around Afghanistan and creating informed opinions on a text or informative article. The text we explored was focused around attracting tourists despite the recent dangers and attacks that have been occurring in Afghanistan.
Our creative task was to construct an informative brochure that could persuade foreigners to visit Bamyan, Afghanistan on an escorted tour.
We read through the article and shared our thoughts using information that we knew about the topical issue. We used different reading comprehension strategies to comprehend the text in a more clear and direct way so that we can make an educated opinion. We also used questions to help us understand the text better, skimming and scanning to evaluate the text even more and summarising in order to retell the text with our own form of comprehension.
I found this task fairly easy because I am familiar with creating persuasive brochures that advertise an area, and I was able to use my prior understanding of a text to make and share my formed opinions with others.
