Rating - 4 ( Good Movie )
For this Winter Learning Journey activity I had to watch the 2 trailers for Whale Rider and write my own summary for it. Then after the summary I had to rate it only by the trailers. I gave it a 4 which equaled to Good movie. It sounded interesting but I still wanted to watch the movie itself to see what if it's as good as how I think it is. I researched about this movie and took bits and pieces from my researching and put it into my summary. I also added the picture of the front cover from Whale Rider

Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteI like the ratted this movie a 4 but I chose to rate this movie 2 because this is not my type of movie. Well Done!

Hi Victoria. I like the reason behind why you gave it a four out of five. I gave it a two out of five because it is a movie I wouldn't watch. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria
ReplyDeleteI like the reason on why you rated Whale rider a four out of five. I decide to give it a three out of five. Keep up the good work.

Hi Victoria
ReplyDeleteNice summary! I like how you said that she has to win over her ultra-traditional grandfather. Do you think that she'll win him over in the end?
Great work
