Year 9.2
Bill Bryson-Down Under
Australia is the world’s sixth largest country and its largest island. It is the only
island that is also a continent, and the only continent that is also a country. It was
the first continent conquered from the sea, and the last. It is the only nation that
began as a prison.
It is the home of the largest living thing on earth, the Great Barrier Reef, and of
the most famous and striking monolith, Ayers Rock (or Uluru to use its now
official, more respectful Aboriginal name).
It has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world’s ten most
poisonous snakes, all are Australian. Five of its creatures – the funnel-web
spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick and stonefish – are the
most lethal of their type in the world. This is a country where even the fluffiest of
caterpillars can lay you out with a toxic nip, where seashells will not just sting
you but actually sometimes go for you.
Pick up an innocuous coneshell from a Queensland beach, as innocent tourists
are all too wont to do, and you will discover that the little fellow inside is not just
astoundingly swift and testy, but exceedingly venomous. If you are not stung or
pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by
sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistible currents, or
left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback. It’s a tough place.
1. What factual information does the writer give about Australia?
2. What does the writer mean by “It is the only nation that began as a prison.”
3. What is the topic sentence of paragraph two? Why is this a good sentence to start a
paragraph with?
4. Look at the information in paragraph two. What image of Australia does this create?
5. Find two contrasting words in paragraph two.
6. What does the phrase “irresistible currents” suggest?
7. Find evidence to support the last phrase “It’s a tough place”.
Once you have completed your work, please email it back to Miss Brown at

Music For our starter, listen to Fela Kuti - Water No Get Enemy and fill in the following table:
Where does this music What other genres does How many percussion
come from? this sound like? instruments can you
hear?
Think back to our history lesson on the origins of jazz. As part of the Slave Trade, in the
US, slaves were outlawed from drumming using instruments, which led to African
drumming traditions being retained through “body rhythms” such as clapping, stomping
and Pattin’ Juba dancing.
Simpler African rhythms, such as the tresillo rhythm, survived into jazz, and were
incorporated into the European rhythmic framework.
After slavery was outlawed, ex-slaves were able to obtain instruments, and a new
drumming tradition began to emerge. “The snare and bass drummers played syncopated
cross-rhythms”, notes Robert Palmer. Cross-rhythms are as you’d expect: when different
rhythms are played over each other, at the same time, as we will see in a following video.
Another name for this is a polyrhythm.Learning from Home Hub
Work instructions for any pupils unable to attend
school during term time
These polyrhythms also come up in jazz. A few weeks ago I played you some modern jazz
music incorporating polyrhythms. For the following few pieces, write down two instruments
that you can hear playing polyrhythms (these don’t have to be percussion instruments).
Song Instrument One Instrument Two
Nubiyan Twist –

Quasimode –

Watch the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGQN8vdwVrI.
Notice how the bass in this video sounds like it’s walking, and how this is played upon by
John Clayton, the player.
Find a definition for “walking bass” and write it down below:
