Fast Food

Hello all of you

Here is the original movie poster image. It is in colour and it may be clearer if you click on it to make it bigger.

Ok a few ideas for you all..

Remember you are describing the document not just the ideas contained in the document so say what you see.
What sort of document is it?
What are the most important or eye-catching things on the document?
What other information is supplied by the document?
What did we discuss about lies and fries?
What do you think the film is about and why do you think that?

Some vocabulary

Other words for films include picture, flick and movie.

Words for use in association with the burger could include melted, greasy, appetising, fat, gherkin, pickle, sauce, processed, lettuce and bun.

Fall is U.S English for autumn.

In the colour picture the black GRADUATES into blue, or the other way round!

Oh and remember it isn’t the American flag it is the Flag of the United States of America (USA)

Hope that helps , any questions just ask using the comments link

Portraits

Thanks to everyone who made such an effort to create the wonderful portraits of me. I will post some comments when I have read them all. I have one question though, where did you get the idea I liked ice-skating? I am terrible at ice-skating…..really, really, really bad.

Global Warming and Time

Here is the original photo that inspired the Time magazine cover that we studied and you are going to write about. It was taken by Joe Rosenthal on top of Mount Suribachi which is only 166 meters high. The photo is one of the most famous World War Two images and concerns the American flag being raised on Iwo Jima during a massive battle. In fact the photo was taken on the 5th day, the battle lasted 35 days.

The battle was between the United States and Japan. The US was trying to capture the island of Iwo Jima, especially some very important airfields. It produced some of the fiercest fighting in the Pacific Campaign of World War II.
The Japanese heavily fortified the island with huge bunkers, hidden artillery, and 18 kilometers of tunnels. The battle was the first American attack on the Japanese Home Islands and the Imperial soldiers defended their positions tenaciously. There were 21,000 Japanese soldiers defending Iwo Jima at the beginning of the battle. More than 20,000 were killed and only 216 taken prisoner

Dark Knight

As promised here is the full colour version of the film poster you are going to try and write a description of. I will try to write some ideas here later but it is late and I need my beauty sleep.

If you need any help just ask

That's a secret, so don't say it too loud or we will get into a fight!

( if you understand that last sentence you were in the class!)

Hello Everyone

Ok so here is the first post on my blog. I am sorry it is a bit later than promised but I have been very busy. An example

Today I was going to post many things on here but instead I have been looking after my kids because my wife had to go to the dentist, then the hot water tank stopped working. Not only did it stop working but it cut the electricity to the house. So then I had to fix the electricity problem, go and buy a new hot water tank and then fit it. I did it all , except fitting the tank, that is half done, so it is a cold shower in the morning!

So enough excuses and on with the blog......I hope
