Example essay structure:
Muriel's Wedding - not really a comedy
Introduction
Tuesday night I went to my local video store to find the movie "Muriel's Wedding." I had heard from a few friends that this was a really good film, but I never got the opportunity to see it. I tried to look for it under the drama section of the video store. After looking for a few minutes I asked one of the store employees where exactly I could find the movie. The man very kindly directed me to the comedy section. I was puzzled that this was a comedy. My friend had described the movie to me and it sounded kind of sad. Today, I am one of those who have seen the film Muriel's Wedding and to me, this is not a comedy,
Arguments
First of all Muriel's self-concept is not very positive. She seems to dislike her father, as she should. Muriel's father is mean to her and her siblings. He is on a power trip, probably because he is a not so successful at work. He is also pushy and puts Muriel down by telling her to get a job and at the same time tells her that she has not had a job in two years and that the one she did have he got for her. In other words Muriel is used to the experience of being humiliated and put down by her father.
Secondly, she does not seem to fit in with any of her friends. They also do their best to put her down and the worst thing is that Muriel lets herself be humiliated. At least in the beginning. Only when she changes her name to Mariel and gets married to a succesful swimmer is she accepted by her "friends" from back home. That is also what Muriel desperately wants, to be accepted and adored by her fake-friends.
Finally, Muriel is obsessed with becoming a bride. She believes that if she becomes a bride and a wife, that is all she needs to be. Then she will be someone and people will like her. In the film she does everything she can to get what she wants. She lies, steals and forget the people who like her for who she really is.
Conclusion
So, to call Muriel's wedding a comedy is not really correct. Muriel's father and friends constantly puts her down and she becomes a person with low self-sesteem, who lets herself be humiliated by people. This makes the film more of a tragedy than a comedy to me. However, it has it's fun moments and in the end she finds her true self. Muriel.

Practise for your presentations
A few of you will be writing the test today
Tuesday
Feedback on your texts - correct them and hand them back to me. If you have a lot of yellow marks you might want to write your text again on a computer and hand it in. If you have less, write the correct text in the margin and hand in.
Preparation - oral presentation next week (presentations in small groups Tuesday and Friday)
You might want to use your text when writing key words for your presentation. But in the end of the lesson I want your texts back.
How to give a speech/presentation in English
Your presentation
What?
You should be prepared to give a presentation to a few of your friends where you give your view on whatever topic you wrote your text about...
How?
Think the way you did when you wrote your text.
That is: Give an interesting "ear-catching" introduction to your topic where we get a hint of what you are going to talk about and also where you state your opinion.
You give a few reasons why you think the way you do. Give examples. When you speak you have time to develop your arguments even more than in writing.
Wrap it up. Some sorts of conclusion.
USE keywords - not a long text
When?
You should be prepared to give your presentation on Tuesday week 8.
Why?
In the curriculum for English 9 it says that you should be given the opportunity to practise communication and how to express yourself in speaking throughout the course.
You should also practise on how to use strategies when speaking. Strategies are basically everything you do to keep the communication going... For example if you can't find the right word...you move on and try to say it in another way...you try to keep going. You "save" the situation.
This could be useful: Page 1, 2, 3, 4
Remember!
A good text is quite similar to a good presentation.
It contains: Structure. Clarity. Varied language with flow.
What do I assess?

Varför tror du så många unga upplever att de är stressade i dag?
– Jag tror det påverkar väldigt mycket att man jämför sig med andra. Många pratar om att sociala medier påverkar, men jag skulle säga att det är minst lika mycket i riktiga livet. Att man ska ha så himla mycket runt omkring och att man känner en press att vara på ett visst sätt."
