  • Iti rearea, teitei kahikatea ka taea

    Although the bellbird is small, it can fly to the top of the mighty kahikatea

    Kia ora. Well done on getting your movie reviews (and in some cases your music reviews) onto the shared slideshow.  It is important that you get this work compleleted within the week it has been set.  As Year 9s the expectation is that you are able to complete your draft writing and your published work within the week it is set.  We started the movie reviews in week 3, so they are now past their 'use-by' date.  This week we are going to explore opinion writing in more depth with a focus on purpose and audience.  The reason you are writing and the audience you are writing for determines the language techniques and structure you use when sharing your opinion (and persuading to your point of view).  Please spend some homework time completing work in order to meet your deadlines.

    Success Criteria:

      • I can use a writing framework to organise elements of written text into a cohesive piece of writing

    Activities:

    1. Complete and publish music reviews
    2. Audience and purpose - how to persuade to your opinion essay structure

    Further Learning:

    • Read your book
    • Complete Movie and Music reviews and upload them to the shared slideshows.
