Script Development – Finish for Drama on Tuesday
Everyone has worked for two periods to develop a drama script that incorporates a set of conventions (as described below) and explores a conflict between two characters. this needs to be completed so we can enact these scripts in Drama on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, 11th January 2012, we asked you to do the following in class:
Once – by Morris Gleitzman
Talk to each other about these questions and then write your ideas in your books.
1.What have you found out about the narrator of this story so far?
2.What can you guess about this narrator that he is perhaps not telling you but that you know as a reader?
3.How successful have you found the story telling so far?
4.What do you think of when you hear the word ‘Once’? You can have different things that it reminds you of.
5.Write down any 5 things that you know about the Second World War.
6.If you could ask the author of this book three questions, what would they be?
Your own writing: This book starts like this: “Once I was ……………….”
Use this line to write the opening three paragraphs of a story (you can write more if you want to.) Spend time thinking about how you can give your reader clues about who the narrator is in your story. Concentrate on crafting your writing.
