Monday May 1st (Mayday)

This term there are several assessments that must be completed for report grades AND an exam in Week 4. The essay topics for the exam (transactional writing) will be worked on as drafts in class, then handed to you to do a good copy as part of the exam.
Our focus topic will be ADVERTISING.
The film you write about will be "Pirates of the Caribbean".
In week 5 there will be an assessment for speeches - these will be on either an aspect of Advertising, or your famous NZer from Term 1.

Today's work:
1. Use the letters A C I L O P V to see how many words you can make. (1 point for 2 letter words, 2 points for 3 letter words etc.)
2. Journal Writing: spend 20 minutes on this
"what if?" you had to choose the most important thing in life..but it could NOT be money? What would you say is the most important thing in life? Why did you choose that thing?
3. "what's up?" worksheet. Work in pairs to copy and complete the sheet.

Check the site on the last blog for answers to #1.

Remember your books will be collected next Monday (May 8th)
