Love - Pay It Forward

We have watched the move Pay it forward and now it is time for us to work with the movie. 

The main message of the movie is to try to do your best in helping other people. Do good and good will come back at you!

Your task is to write about a good deed that you have done. I want you to write in a Word document and share your text with me. 

Your good deed can be anything. Have you helped your parents with the dishes? Or maybe you helped your best friend with something? Maybe you helped a stranger?

• Who did you help?
• Why did you help that person?
• Did the person ask for your help?
• How did you feel afterwards?
• Did the person you helped get happy?
• Did you get a thank you?
• Would you like to hlp out more than you do?
• Do you get much help from family/friends?

I want you to have these questions in mind when you write about your good deed, You can also include other things that I have not mentioned here. I want you to develop your answers as much as possible. Write between 200-300 words.

These words are also homework for next Wednesday (29/4)

 

Find a recipe!!

You are now going to prepare to write your recipe. Here are some tings you are NOT supposed to do: 

• - Do NOT use google translate for the whole text – write it yourself. 

• - Do NOT just take one recipe and use it as it is – you have to add something yourself. 

• 
  

Now – decide what kind of recipe you want. Find a basic one that you can use. Write it down yourself – and CHANGE it to your liking. As an example: pancakes recipe but you add chocolate or carrot into the batter.  

Don’t copy/paste, write it yourself, only refer to the base recipe for help. 

 

You write it by yourself – remember that I want you to film you making it. 

 

Good luck and take it easy – think about respecting the work space (arbetsro!!!)
