Father and Daughter
Cookie Monsters!
Here is the film we watched in class. Watch it again and then imagine that you have been asked by the film director to write the opening and closing paragraphs to a book of the film. Write your opening and closing paragraphs.
Be aware of the themes of the original film. Think carefully about the father/daughter relationship. Make sure that your opening and closing fit with the film's setting and is appropriate to the tone and nature of the film.
Write in a mixture of simple, compound and complex sentences for effect. Vary your sentence lengths. Try starting your complex sentences with a connective such as 'although'. Use sensory imagery and description, but avoid being too descriptive and flowery. Make sure your use of imagery is appropriate to the task. Rather than use lots of adjectives and adverbs, aim to work hard to find the most appropriate nouns and verbs.
Stick to just two paragraphs. Aim for between 3 and 6 sentences in each paragraph.
Hand in homework next lesson.
Good luck!
