Activities for Monday

To identify the characters and settings in a story |
What are the important things in a story? For a lot of people the most important parts of a story are the characters. Think of your favourite character in a film or a book or television show. Why are they your favourite? Think of villains. Why are they interesting villains? In a play we call the characters the cast.
Think about where some of your favourite stories are set. Does where the story is set add to why you like it? Could it be set somewhere else and still work? In a play these often appear at the beginning of a scene which is a little like a chapter in a book. |
You will need to watch a film of your choice (I would suggest one that is favourite of yours that you have seen before).
While watching you need to make notes.
You will have just collected the cast and the settings of your film.

Spelling
Choose 10 words from the 3/4 word list and use them in a sentence. If you want to do a little extra you might want to do some rainbow writing, pyramid spelling, an acrostic poem or a nonsense story.
Reading
