Today’s Lesson (1) We are going to: Learn to focus and use our imagination Use freeze frame to represent images from the Hobbledown book

What’s the focus? You have been given a picture. In groups decide on what the focus of the picture is and what is happening/could be happening in your picture? Discuss this within your group.

Freeze Frame In groups produce freeze frames of what you think happens next in your picture. This can be one freeze frame or a series of frames. These frames will be performed to the class. Audience should give feedback after each performance.

Plenary Write down one thing you have learnt today? What have you found difficult during this lesson? What have you enjoyed most about this lesson? What will you do differently in the next lesson?

Todays Lesson (2) We are going to: Create a role for a character who lives in ‘Nonsuch’ Adapt that role based on feedback from the class Start a story based on these characters

‘ Nonsuch’ Nonsuch is another place like Hobbledown that is connected to Potenesia. Remember Potenesia is the original home of the ‘Hobblers’ Nonsuch, like Hobbledown is joined to Potenesia by a series of tunnels.

‘Nonsuch’ Close your eyes and imagine what Nonsuch is like. What can you see, hear and smell. Share these ideas in a group Now create characters for your Nonsuch. Each student will tell the class about their character maybe even including a name.

‘Nonsuch’ Now lets think of a story we can make using these characters and set it in ‘Nonsuch’. In groups start brainstorming ideas about characters and the setting ‘Nonsuch’. You can change (adapt) your characters. You will also need to decide on one setting for the whole group. Whose will you use? Will you take bits from one and bits from another?

Plenary Write down one thing you have learnt today? What have you found difficult during this lesson? What have you enjoyed most about this lesson? What will you do differently in the next lesson?

Todays Lesson (3) We are going to: Use the characters from the last lesson to create a story / play. Write this story down (create a script) Recap narration learnt in KS1

‘Scripting’ What is scripting? Why it is important? Everyone has to script the first seconds of their play. Scripting is when we write down what each character says. Why would this be useful? Others could do the play Won’t forget the words Others can stand in if someone is sick

The performance When the work is performed everyone should be able to make one comment on it. (I may ask you for a comment after a performance) Has anyone used a narrator? If not why not? What is narration?
