[English] Imaginative Landscapes Online Context File / Blog

This is fantastic and thanks for sharing it!
We've put together a hardcopy Reader for the students and used a lot of graphic material too, which is giong to be a strength of this context I think.
We used a lot of photography by artists like Max Dupain & Ansell Adams, artworks by Jeffrey Smart, the Heidelberg school, Dali, Drysdale etc.  Even 'American Gothic' as a representation of a particular landscape.
Once we got into it, we found a wide range of material (graphic and print) and I'm looking forward to delving into it!

Feel free to check out my personal 'Imaginative Landscapes' Context File
blog at:

http://www.mycontextfile.blogspot.com/

I'm using this as a starting point for students to help them start
pulling together their own hardcopy or online Context File scrapbooks as
they explore the context.

National Conference in Adelaide in July.

AATE-ALEA National Conference Scholarships for VATE members

VATE is offering two scholarships to the 2008 AATE-ALEA National 
Conference in Adelaide, 6-9 July. The National Conference is a great 
opportunity for VATE members to join a national conversation about 
English and literacy teaching in Australia and a chance to check out 
what teachers from around Australia are doing in their classrooms. 
More details about the conference are available on the website: 
http://www.englishliteracyconference.com.au/

Each scholarship can be used to pay conference registration, airfares 
and accommodation up to $1500. Scholarship winners are asked to 
provide a report on the Conference for the VATE Newsletter, VATE's 
journal IDIOM, or for the VATE website. One scholarship is reserved 
for an early career teacher (<5 years). Current members of VATE 
Council and Committees are ineligible, but all other VATE members are 
encouraged to apply. To apply address the selection criteria below:

A successful applicant will:
Be a current individual member of VATE
Indicate why they believe they are a strong candidate for a 
scholarship and how participation in the conference will benefit 
their professional learning
Outline some activities they are willing to undertake to share the 
experience with colleagues within and outside of their school (eg a 
school PD session, at the VATE Conference)
On return from the conference prepare a response/report for 
publication in the VATE Newsletter, IDIOM or the VATE website
Applications should be kept brief and be no longer than two sides of 
one page. The closing date for applications is 30 March 2008.
