Why do we always want what others have?! Jealously is a strange emotion which leads no where. Be happy with YOU! Love YOU! Be the best version of YOU possible!
Zoom
Remember to join our daily zoom session this morning at 10am.
During this session I will be teaching our Maths lesson, so be ready with your Maths pack, including your Maths Arithmetic, a spare piece of paper and a pencil.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Reading
We have reach the final chapter of our class novel today.
I have attached Ch35 below – I hope you enjoy the ending.
Computing
Log on to Purple Mash to access your coding activity for today.
Guided Reading
Read carefully through ‘There’s a Fire in the Forest’ once again.
Refer to the questions and complete them thoroughly, using complete sentences. If there is 2 mark for a question, you will need to give your answer backed up by evidence from the text.
3 mark questions will require your answer with at least two pieces of evidence from the text.
Writing
LO: To learn to plan and write a playscript.
Replay the film ‘Soar’. You might need to replay this several times in this lesson.
Firstly, lets look at features of a playscript:
• Speaker’s names written on the left followed by a colon
• Dialogue written without inverted commas
• Stage directions written in brackets.
• Playscript divided into scenes
• Each scene is introduced
• Characters listed at the beginning
• Use of a narrator to tell the story, give information or comment on the action
I have attached an example text for you to take a look at below – can you find all of these features in the model?
In today’s lesson, you will be working towards retelling the story by writing a playscript. You will be concentrating on writing the dialogue between characters to tell the story.
Refer to the planning sheet I have attached below. This planning sheet will help you to record your dialogue ideas and plan for your playscripts.
You will need to write your dialogue in chronological order to tell the story and in the first person for all characters.
Think about how the characters are talking so you are planning this element for your playscripts.
Mara: (Whispering) Fly!
Mara: Oh, I’ll never do it! Why won’t they fly? I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
Mara: Ouch! What on earth…a tiny bag?
Lucas: (Breathless) Oh no, oh no, oh no! Where is it?
Lucas: (Gasping) Oh my…a giant! Please don’t hurt me! Stay back, stay back!
Use brackets around the word which indicates how the dialogue is read – this is one form of stage direction (some examples have been attached below). These are not always needed but help the actors to think about how the play should be performed.
Have a think about other stage directions to include – telling the actor what action they should be doing. These also will be in brackets and written in between the dialogue – they can be seen in red in the model.
Read through and act out your dialogue throughout the writing process to make sure it makes sense and that you are telling the story.
Once, you have planned your playscript, you are going to produce your own playscript which will run along side the Soar video (see the model below).
Before you start writing your dialogue, write a short setting description, so the reader knows where it is taking place.
