Miss Knowles and Mrs Onyett are looking forward to reading your reviews and might even post some onto the Class Story! My writing checklist for today’s piece of writing I have included the title of the film and opened my review with a strong first sentence that make the reader want to read on. I have mentioned some of the key actors by name. I have given a summary of the plot without giving away the ending. I have given my opinion, mentioned the strengths and weaknesses of the film with specific detail. Included powerful adjectives and emotive language. Use formal tone and have used the first person. Non negotiables (What I should include in all writing tasks) I can use diagonal and horizontal strokes to join letters. I can proof-read to check for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation I can use capitals and full stops correctly throughout my work. WAGOLL- Eddie the Eagle I was truly delighted to watch the new film, Eddie the Eagle because it is an astoundingly energizing and powerful film. I love to watch films based on true stories and this is an unquestionably good one. In this film, you will see the story of Michael “Eddie” Edwards, an Olympic British ski jumper and learn how his determination enabled him to participate in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. This movie tells the story of Eddie the Eagle (Taron Egerton) and shows the tough obstacles that Eddie overcame to achieve his dream of participating in the Olympics. I love how this movie doesn’t feel rushed. I love the casting. Taron Egerton looks identical to the real Eddie and plays him with conviction. Hugh Jackman also gives a great performance. Jo Hartley, who plays Eddie’s mom, gives a stunning performance of a mother who supports her child’s dreams no matter what. The 80s soundtrack also plays an important role in the movie, since it is the type of music that was around when Eddie made his jump. This year is the 28th anniversary of when he made his ski jump in the 1988 Winter Olympics. The moral of this movie is never give up no matter what. We see that when individuals don’t have faith in Eddie and think his fantasy of setting off to the Olympics is an exercise in senselessness that he would never be capable of achieving. We see how Eddie never gives up. He is persistent, even though people think he is crazy. Eddie never gives up on what he believes in and does his best. Throughout this movie you see Eddie overcome obstacles and he never gives up. This is definitely a good movie for kids to see, especially if they have been put down, taunted, bullied or told they can’t do something they love to do. They can benefit from seeing this film. I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to kids ages 5 to 18. I think adults will like this film as well. Those who like documentary dramas and family movies will particularly enjoy it. Look for the story of Eddie the Eagle, which is in theatres now. English LO: I can identify nouns, adjectives and verbs. Read the following ‘A Teachers Day in Bed’.
