Kia ora Whānau in 9D
You should have completed your 'Static Image Commentary Sheet' over the weekend and be ready to write your blurb!
I've put two examples on the board for - The Seahorse and the Reef and A Game of Cards. Feel free to use the outline, though be aware, that I will likely award a higher grade to those of you who personalize your blurb and change certain elements, such as the quotation etc.

Kia ora Whānau in 9A
Unlike 9D, your blurb is obviously going to be based on Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl. Keeping in mind the instructions that we covered last week (See Week 20 - Miss Hay's instruction sheet on writing a blurb), you should be able to complete this requirement of the assessment, without too much difficulty.
Have a read of Adam Harvey's blurb below. It took him all of five minutes to write...and whilst there may be a few technical errors here and there, the main point is, that it is riveting, doesn't give away the plot and certainly made me feel like reading the story! Well done Adam...great work!
