Lesson reflection: The purpose of this lesson was to refine the script for room sixes film festival movie. Students were able to critique the original script in an attempt to make it more persuasive, clear and concise. It was a great opportunity for me to see whether they could put their knowledge from writing into practise (eg persuasive language, using different sentence lengths, elaborating etc). Students had to think carefully about their choice of words in order to clearly express their understandings and ideas about the teacher strike.
