Welcome

Welcome to ENC212!  This year we are all about developing our literacy and communications skills through studying a range of New Zealand films, and reading texts on the topics we each find important or interesting in the films we watch.

We are starting with Smash Palace, a film which shocked New Zealanders when it was first released in the early 1980s.  This thoughtful review by Roger Ebert explores what makes this film powerful.



After watching the film, we will share our ideas on the film itself, and what seemed interesting or important or brutal in the film on this padlet.

From our discussion, we will move in week 3 to finding texts on the topics we pulled out of watching Smash Palace.  We will read a range of texts, answer some not-too-tricky questions and then grab some credits for our work.  Not bad aye?
