In your classwork book (TITLE: Judgement Words), write a ‘but’ sentence for each of the following which evaluates it – that is, it tells us whether you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing, using positive and negative judgement words (avoid neutral words, unless you feel ‘ambivalent’ about it).

For example:

‘My best friend has an embarrassing laugh – it’s so loud – but I really love her for her mischievous sense of humour.’

|Your Mum (or Dad, or Grandma or Caregiver). | |Today’s weather. |

|Your pet. | |A recent sports game you went to. |

|Your best friend. | |A movie you’ve just seen. |

|The car you’ve always wanted to drive. | |Someone you used to know but didn’t like. |

|Millicent. | |Someone from TV. |
