In class3 for literacy we have been watching a film called The Piano. The Piano is a film with out any talking or speaking, it is mainly a man playing a piano and he goes back to all the good times and the bad times in his memory. Just watching it you need to try and express how you think he is feeling.
My Diary…
Today is my wedding day, and today I am being wed to the one and beautiful Margret. I stood at the alter while Margret was walking down to me holding her fathers hand…. when we came out of the church all the church bells where ringing everyone was throwing confetti and taking photo’s of the wonderful moment with Margret. Then it was the after party and we were all dancing our pants off, it was a wonderful evening, I felt so great it was the best night of my life and I will never ever forget it and neither will Margret.

Great post Leia! It is a great film- amazing when you think it is only about 2-3 minutes long. It is good that the old man has his happy memories to balance against the sad ones. You have written this as a diary- what is your favorite type of writing?

Hello Leia. I have read several of the blogs about the film, The Piano. I haven’t seen the film and I found what the children had written quite puzzling at first. There was talk of Germans and of sadness and of happiness.
Your diary has just the one entry - the wedding day.
But what I liked was your introduction. You explained the context. You described what the film is about and what you had to do. It helped me as a reader to understand and enjoy your writing.
Thank you.
