Making a Difference

What we Did Explored narrative poetry Using many small activities Working in pairs Focus on ‘excerpts’ Focus on narrative structure Able to ‘see’ detail Encouraged an interest in Chinese culture Transposing poem to film Hot seating Conscience alley Storyboards Concentrated on cohesion

More of what we did…….and how we did it Mulan : Disney Film Excerpts Stills Whole Film Original Chinese Folk Poem : The Ballad of Mulan: Exploring Narrative Teacher scribing Scaffolding Modelling Hot seating Conscience Alley Script writing Applying techniques to Narrative Poem in English tradition: The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God. Drama : Script : Film

The Motivation When we ask children to write, are we saying: -  Sing me a Chinese folk song  Paint me a cherry blossom tree  Climb the Great Wall of China ?

Perceptions It is like being a film director Writing is ‘OK’ Girls are not always the best writers I understand what is happening more I think I can write better now From the Writing Perceptions Sheet
