Have your say for highwayman

Have your say

The following questions are aimed to make you think...There are no right answers as long as you give reasons for what you have written…. Make a copy and go for it!

1. Do you think the choice Bess makes (to warn the Highwayman by taking her own life) Is stupid or inspiring? I think it is stupid because she knew him for like 3 minutes.
2. If you made a movie of this, who would you cast as the highwayman? How about Bess?  I would role Leonardo DiCaprio for highwayman and for Bess I would role Abby Sciuto.      
3. Have you ever admired a criminal? Do you think it's OK to make robbers into heroes?no because they have done bad already and should go to prison.
4. Why do you think people tell ghost stories? Is the ghost story in this poem meant to make us scared? Happy? Sad?sad because two people have died but i would not crying they both deserved it couse they.

How do you feel about tragic stories? Would you switch this ending for a happy one if you could?no because the would ruin the story.

My weekly Reflection

THis week have made video for weekly reflection:link

My Weekly News:Prince George off to school

so this year Prince george goes to a school that cost 10,647NZD a term.So the duke duchess of cambridge decided.So the school is called Thomas’s in Battersea. So the last went to was Westacre Montessori nursery which costed $10 a hour.

my opinion is It is a joke because next year a high school that cost $15,000 a year and so $10,000 a term is a joke for a little kid.
