Your task is to keep a record of connections between the book and
- your life
- the world
- other texts
This is an example of what you need to do. The part in bold is a quote. The rest is a reason why the book is connected to someone’s life.
Love is ridiculous. But love is also wonderful. And powerful. And
Despereaux’s love for the Princess Pea would prove, in time, to be all those
these things: powerful, wonderful, and ridiculous. (page 32) Some people
would say that it’s ridiculous how much I love my dog, but he gives
me what I don’t get from people: love with no arguments, just total
adoration. This is a powerful form of love.

Your task for the Horrible Histories books is to create your own fictional (made up) Horrible Histories for Boroondara Park Primary School. You can make it into a little book complete with front cover and illustrations. The book should be written in the funny way that the Horrible Histories are written. You should imagine that you are writing about the school as if it is in the past. An example may be about what the students used the bottom oval for, or maybe some legends about the smell from the boys’ toilet.
