Comment here on any good (or dreadfully awful) movies that you see at a theater or at home. In addition to your opinions, try to include some interesting insights about the movie, perhaps some background details or your thoughts on the theme to a movie.
Here’s an example:
‘Napoleon Dynamite’ Movie Review: Some people love this movie and others hate it, but if you like unique and quirky movies, you’ll probably watch this over and over like I did. Napoleon is a high school student, the sterotypical nerd, but he comes off as being a new kind of hero who does what he can to help his friend, Pedro, become school president. Of course, you can tell us more than this if you like, but don’t give away too much of the plot to spoil the ending!

List here any good books you know of that we should add to the classroom library:
For example:
Tomorrow When the War Began,
by John Marsden.
Greta was back at school today and she recommended this title. It’s an action/adventure kind of story, and it is the first book in a series of seven.

Sometimes a good quotation can really make your day, or inspire you to move ahead. For instance, one of my favourite quotes is:
I would never join a club that would have me as a member.
Oscar Wilde.
What are some quotations that you find inspiring, amusing, or otherwise worthy of sharing?
