Over this writing unit, the children have used Creativity, Cooperation and Independence Gems.
Over the last few weeks, the children have been learning about playscripts. The children have learnt that they are laid out differently to stories. Firstly, that they have a cast list and different scenes. That they have the speech element, written differently to usual speech and that the stage directions are written in italics. The children also learnt about shifts in formality, such as the setting for the scene written in a formal manner. They also learnt about how to convey the different characters, such as a King with no contractions and always speaking formally, compared to that of a peasant, who would use contractions and colloquialisms. In addition, the children have learnt about the use of ellipsis, subordinate clauses, conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Of course, all of this could not have happened without the children acting out the scene and portraying the different characters. The children's next task, is to act out their playscripts.
