7 Elements of Film

Persuasive Writing

Are you a fan of the king of pop - Michael Jackson?  Then if you are, here’s the right movie for you. Watch Tamaki College students doing thriller. It’s really cool.

I believe you should watch this movie because you can watch and sing along at the same time.

The second reason you should watch this movie is because once you turn it on. It makes you want to groove to the beat.

The third reason is that it has parts that you’ll love like the part when they dance like Michael Jackson on the real thriller (oops spoiler alert!)

So if you would like to watch this movie of Tamaki College doing thriller just go to www.manaiakalani.org
