The circus that left room to breathe
A travelling circus has brought an evening performance to your area, and you attended.
Write, for teenage readers of a culture website, a review of the evening. The circus company and its acts may be invented.
Your review might consider which moment held your attention, how the performers and setting shaped the experience, and who is most likely to enjoy the show.
You may develop these ideas or take a different approach.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
