During semester, 7VBR was given the opportunity to read, discuss and analyse the messages conveyed in the text-free book, The Arrival by Shaun Tan. Not only were we enlightened by such an intriguing style of presenting a plot, but also to the text-heavy kind. Reading individual books, was great. I could see girl's enjoying their stories and picking up real life geographical, historical, cultural and even psychological insight along the way, as many of the books we read were based off true journey stories. After piecing together a review for the book we read, the semester drew to a close with the creation of one-century-of-exploration timelines.
