This week in English we will be carrying on from last week where we were looking at the story of The Stone Age Boy. This week involves you acting out your own version of the Stone Age Boy, planning it and looking at writing some detailed paragraphs, ready for your return to school.
Monday and Tuesday
You may have started this last week so please continue...
Have a think about how you are going to change the story slightly.
The characters will be the same – Boy, Om and her tribe but you must decide;
*How their boy ends up in the stone age. Perhaps he was gardening and fell down a hole, perhaps he was walking, trips over a kerb and becomes unconscious?... Their decision.
*Decide on 3 adventures that the Boy has with Om. Fishing/hunting/berry picking/lighting a fire/cleaning the hide… Their decision.
* How does their boy get back to modern life. What is the trigger which sends him back. Perhaps he falls from a tree whilst hunting??
Please write your ideas down on the planning sheet so you can bring this into school with you on your return. We will be using this to help when we write the whole story next week.
Once you have filled in your planning sheet you can then start your visual story map. This lesson goes over two days.
Examples of Visual story maps from last week that could help you when you are planning your OWN version.
