Under the Bridge

As I am away today, we will put Smash Palace and the changes in New Zealand in the 1980s aside and look at a short film that I had planned to show you later in the term.

A. In your English folder, make a document called "Under the Bridge."  Write what you think a film called Under the Bridge might be about.  Use 5-7 sentences, with several ideas and supporting details.

B. Now you can watch the film Under the Bridge, either together on the big screen if the reliever has a laptop, or in groups on chromebooks.

After you have watched the film (30 minutes), discuss the following questions in groups.  You can either write your answers in a shared document, or create a screencastify recording of your discussion.

1. What did you think of the film?
2. How is Papakura High similar to Grey High?
3. How is Papakura High different to Grey High?
4. What do you think is special about our school (Grey High)?
5. What do you want to do this year to push yourself and achieve something which is special to you?
6. What do you think we can all do to make Grey High even more special, especially for people who find school difficult?

I look forward to hearing or reading your thoughts on Wednesday!
