Skellig CL

2. Why did they have Michael’s dad burn down the garage compared to it being pulled down? Too build more suspense for the film and make the audience worry.

3. Why do you think they had it that Grace died? To give Michael a special moment and remember the saying grace said.

What were doing in English?

In English we are making a 5 paragraph essay about the film we have studied which is called Hunt for the Wilder-people. 

I have never did something like this before so it is quite uncomfortable but I think the Paragraph/Essay experience will be good in the coming future. Creating the paragraph is also quite boring. 

In our other teachers English class we are reading a book called the Cay and analysing the details that make it a good book.
