Well, my mail box wasn't exactly inundated with film reviews!
We are now in an intensive period of writing where all of the assignments will be graded.
The film review was going to be the first one!!
TODAY WE WORK WITHOUT THE COMPUTER, SO SWITCH IT OFF AND PUT IT AWAY.
We start off today with a gist summary of your neighbour's half-term break. Remember? 20 words based on the five questions
Who? What? How? When? Why?
Interview then go for it! Hand it in to me!
Now we will start off by discussing writing in groups of three to four students. Here is the handout. Today we will also get it on paper
TODAY, all assignments on paper please!
Now we are going to write a story in three's.
The story is about Peter and John ( Petra and Jane).
The first person sets the story on his /her slip
It was................................
The second person writes about an unexpected occurrence
Suddenly.........................
The third person writes about the consequences of this occurrence
As a result/Consequently.............
You should write WITHOUT looking at each others' slips of paper.
Now put the story together!
What do we learn about writing as a skill from this exercise?

namely the 5 paragraph essay.
Here is the first one and here is the other hand-out.
