Hello Y10

Well done for your work today. Those of you that have been focused will be rewarded in the Controlled Assessment next week!

This week we looked at collecting information about the director, Paul Greengrass, other films about 9/11 and some other reviews. You should all have created your own success criteria for review writing.

For your homework, ready for Friday, you need to ensure that you have finished this note-taking and have created a success criteria. You also need to create a word bank of useful words that you could take in as notes. Remember, using very or really needs to be better; you're aiming for unusual/dramatic verbs and adjectives. Finally, you need to take a few notes on paragraph topics. What information might you include in your paragraphs? What do other review writers do to organise their paragraphs?

That might seem like a lot, but really it's just revision of what we've been doing since the beginning of the school year. You have produced some amazing work in your draft books.

Look at the links in the last post if you feel that you need some help with vocabulary or semi-colons.

Big well done again!
Ms Caldwell :)

  2. Hi Olivia
    The review should be no more than 700 words. Remember, you have two hours to write this so you've a fair amount of time for planning when you're in. It may be useful to think about your planning now, but you will not be able to take a plan in.
    Hope that helps,
    Ms :)
