Section outline

  • Our final practice week before our book review assessment next week.


    We have reviewed short stories and some books. This week we will be recalling the live perfomance of Macbeth that we were lucky enough to attend last Friday.


    This week we will discuss what a good quality review would include.

    We have practised many together and I have given you some headings and subheadings in weeks 1-3 to support you.

    Our week 4 focus will be working as a class to recall and use these headings because next week you will need to do this independently.

    Success Criteria:

    I can recall the different aspects and headings to include in a review

    I can share my opinion, with examples, to write a short review

    I can revise AND edit my writing before I share it with my audience


    Learning Tasks:

    Complete a short review of last Friday's performance of Macbeth. 

    Revise and edit all writing in another colour.

    Complete the Macbeth online quiz.

    Watch each of the short films and be ready to comment on the theme, conflict, filmmaker's purpose, predictions or plot twist.

    Add your star rating, with a reason, for each performance or film you review this week.

    READ, read, read your book by a NZ author. You need to finish it this week.


    Dates for your student diary:

    Friday 31 May, week 5 is a teacher only day. There is no school for you.

    Monday 3 June, week 6 is King's Birthday. There is no school.


    Home Learning:
    Reading Plus: Are you managing yourself and staying up to date? Sadly I have no certificates to print out for 7F2 so that probably means a lot of people need to work hard to complete their tasks on time.
    READ, read, read your book by a NZ author. You need to finish it this week.
