ZAGOTT Reviews Written by Mr. Gott’s Sixth Grade Class2015

http://www.gfacademy.org

ZAGOTTDuring the months of January and February, sixth graders devoted the bulk of their Writing Workshop time to writing reviews. We began by reviewing our favorite and least favorite movies; we continued by reviewing restaurants; and we concluded by writing student-choice “Wild Card” reviews. All reviews in this guide were written and edited entirely by students.

Writing a review forces an author to do two important things: approach the world from a critical perspective and develop a unique voice. The best reviewers are those whose work demonstrates a level of consistency and an engagement with the material they are reviewing.

Our Zagott Guide is divided into three sections:

I. Movie ReviewsII. Restaurant Reviews

III. Other Reviews

We invite you to consult our review guide to discover great places to eat, great movies to watch (or horrible movies to avoid), and information about your favorite automobile, brand of tissues, pair of shoes, and much, much more!

In Time: Live Forever or Die Trying

Want a thrilling movie that will have you slipping off your seat? A movie with an action

filled love story? Then In Time is the movie for you! In Time stars Amanda Seyfried,

movie actor known well for playing Sophie in Mamma Mia, and two-time grammy award

winner for his singing career, and well known for playing “Dylan” in “Friends with

Benefits”, Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake plays a low-class, twenty five year old,

Will Salas, working daily just for minutes of more time to live, while Amanda Seyfried,

plays a rich, twenty year old, Sylvia Weis who spends her life with two body guards by

her side twenty four seven. This movie is filled with several climaxes. The energy infused

in the action never stops. Sharing, and sometimes stealing time is a risk that occasionally

comes with a reward. Will Salas strives for more time to take his fifty year old mother to

New Greenwich, the richest time zone, where people rich in time live. As Will Salas

works Sylvia has no problem living life for her father is the owner of the one and only

Weiss Time-lenders, where people go to borrow time and pay it back when they have the

time. In this world you have a choice, strive hard, and succeed to live forever, or, die

trying. Watch your clock, time’s running out, and it’s not stopping.

The Capitol Grill is the best restaurant I have ever been to. The noise level was

very low and there were no little kids screaming and running around. The food came very

quickly and tasted delicious. They have amazing filet mignons and very tasty seafood.

The restaurant was a bit pricy but it was definitely worth it. For desert, they have all sorts

of cakes, ice creams, pies, and fruits. You will not be disappointed if you go to eat there.
