Yr 8AE Literature Workshop
On Friday the 2 November Miss Davis's Year 8AE English class went on an excursion to the Literature Centre in Fremantle (at the prison!) to do a Literature Workshop about the picture book Cicada by Shaun Tan. Students discussed, predicted and created illustrations based on the picture book.
A little bit about the book students spent their day focusing on:
The story of a cicada who works in an office, and all the people who don't appreciate him. The new picture book from multi-award-winner Shaun Tan, author of The Arrival, The Lost Thing and Rules of Summer.
Cicada work in tall building.
Data entry clerk. Seventeen year.
No sick day. No mistake.
Tok Tok Tok!
Cicada works in an office, dutifully toiling day after day for unappreciative bosses and being bullied by his coworkers. But one day, cicada goes to the roof of the building, and something truly extraordinary happens ...
A story for anyone who has ever felt unappreciated, overlooked or overworked, from Australia's most acclaimed picture book creator.
