Francisart's TOP TEN MOVIES of all time

Top ten movies that I can watch more than once - for the enjoyment of the characters and the events. The plot isn't essential in what makes up a great 'picture' - it is the connections you make with the people and their experiences. So for this top 10 list, I'm putting the 'plot' to the side.

Hitting a variety of genres and ages groups:

10.) Stand by Me
9.) Gladiator
8.) Coach Carter
7.) Shawshank Redemption
6.) Big
5.) Remember the Titans
4.) Unbroken
3.) Lucas
2.) Ferris Bueller's day off
1.) The Goonies

Procedural Writing Grades 1-3

Grade 1 to 3 Procedural Writing:
- Identify Specific elements of text and explain how they contribute to the meaning of the text.
E.g., Explanation of a procedure, procedures to be explain.
