Film Festival Commenting.

In room four we are learning to write quality blog comments. I learnt that quality blog comments need to be positive, thoughtful and helpful. We watched previous Manaikalani film festival entries and made notes about them. We turned these notes into quality blog comments. We practised making quality blog comments on different schools blogs.

We made a DLO which had comments about different aspects of the films we watched. You can read those comments on the slide that is embedded below.

 

I found this easy because all I had to do was type, copy and paste and press buttons.
