Weekly posts (directions and example)

As we've said numerous times... You MUST make sure that you involve yourself in the media. To show us that you are and to show your engagement you are going to create a weekly post for Google Classroom.

This could be:
•Watching a new show, film, or trailer.
•Maybe you saw a new poster which you liked the look of.
•You listened to a new podcast or radio programme.
•You found a new Youtuber/Youtube channel and viewed some of their videos.

•You played a new game or saw a new game trailer that grabbed your interest.

•A music video that you have seen

•You read a magazine or newspaper

In the post you should make sure you:

•Give your post a title and add the rating in the title
•Write a minimum of 150 words about why you liked or didn’t like what you saw/played/listened to/read. This should just be a brief review.
•You should include at least one image or video in your post
•You are expected to upload one post a week.
•Failure to do so will lead to yellow cards and detentions.

•Check other peoples posts to see what they’ve been posting, as you never know… it could actually interest you!

Weekly Review: Donnie Darko (2001) 9/10


Donnie Darko is a well developed, thought provoking and captivating film about time travel. It's a complicated narrative in which the viewer is intrigued by the anti-hero, Donnie, whose underlying problems and confused view of the world affect his interactions with people in his life. The end events are vague and leave an opportunity to fully construct your own understanding about what has happened, why it has happened and what would you do if you were given the same opportunities. Also, if you enjoy the film then I'd highly recommend the directors cut which adds an extra layer of depth to the events. 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds...
