Today we finished thinking and talking about 'Under the Bridge.' We talked about what an ERO report is, how the decile system works and what we saw as the strengths and weaknesses of Papakura High from the film 'Under the Bridge.'
Then we started our introduction to the 1981 Spring Bok tour, with our first go at a neutral chair debate. Tomorrow we will watch a film on the tour. We made progress articulating our opinions and listening to others. See you tomorrow!

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!

Reflecting on Smash Palace: thoughts, questions & issues
Our focus today is on Smash Palace. To start, please add your thoughts and questions on the film to this padlet.
We will add our thoughts, and watch 1-2 key scenes again to further develop our discussion.
Then we will each write our own thoughts on the film, using specific examples from our discussion and notes today.
Learning objective: to develop ideas on the film Smash Palace, with supporting detail.
Success criteria:
1. We have all contributed to the padlet, and to listening to each other's thoughts respectfully.
2. We can identify at least two important issues in the film
3. We can explain what makes these ideas important in the film and in society then and today, using a range of supporting detail.
