Your next blog post is to be a response to (or review of) the MS muslcal, “Half a Sixpence,” which you are going to see this afternoon. The musical is based on the Novel “Kipps” by H.G. Wells, Music and Lyrics by David Heneker, Book by Beverley Cross, Directed by Kevin Gallagher, Choreographed by Emily Maltby ‘08, and performed by Middle School students.
Now, when writing about this you need to remember that people reading your post may know nothing about the musical. So you probably want to be begin with a few sentences giving your readers a sense of what it is about. But not too much — if you go on and on and on and on they will very likely stop reading!
Next you need to tell us about what you liked and what you didn’t like (if there was anything!). Be specific. Be careful too — these are your schoolmates so be sure not to write anything that would hurt their feelings. Remember our critiques — you did a great job making suggestions and giving what you liked as well. I am confident that you can do this when writing about this play too.
As you know I hope to let all of the Dalton community know about your reviews. In fact, they may be your first visitors to your blogs once we make them public!
So remember to:
- Begin by drafting your response/review in a MSWord document.
- When you are done check for spelling, punctuation, capitals, and sense.
- Have a teacher check it.
- Post it.
