Note taking

Watch this clip from The Literacy Shed which tells the story of a young boy's adventures with his grandfather after he has been dropped off by his dad for the day. The relationship between the two develops and concludes in a realisation by the father that he is neglecting his son. I would like you to make notes on how the boy is feeling and what he sees, smells, hears, touches or tastes at these points:

In the car with his dad;

getting out of the car and listening to the health and safety list;

sitting on his own while grandpa cuts the grass;

finding the photograph;

escaping from the monkeys;

sailing down the river and over the waterfall;

flying and parachuting;

fighting the aliens;

dad being annoyed at the dirt; 

finally having some fun with dad.

If the boy doesn't use a particular sense, just leave it out.

Writing

Look back at the clip from the previous lesson. I would like you to write a diary from the point of view of the little boy and use the notes that you made yesterday to help you.

Introduction

Mention how disappointed you are that you are going to grandpa's house and that your dad has, yet again, let you down.

Health and safety

Mention what your dad tells grandpa about all the health and safety issues and how this annoys you.

On your own

Describe your feelings of boredom and being ignored while grandpa cuts the grass.

Finding the photograph

Describe how your boredom changes into curiosity as you spot the photograph. Put lots of description in your writing when you tell the reader how you climbed up the shelves.

To help your writing flow, use fronted adverbials and pronouns. The style of the writing is quite informal and should tell the reader what you were thinking. Remember, don't use direct speech.

Completing the diary

In this lesson I would like you to complete your diary recount.

The boy has lots of mini adventures (monkeys, crocodile river, plane, aliens). These should be described as a series of short paragraphs. Create excitement and pace by using:

short sentences

great description with adjectives, adverbs, similes and metaphors.

Include the sounds that you hear eg bang. This is called onomatopoeia.

When your dad arrives, the pace of the text changes. Describe your feeling of guilt as he tells you off for being dirty and then joy as you go on an adventure with him.
