Hi, everyone.

My name is Ms. Boyle, and welcome to this lesson where you are going to be "Planning part 2 of the climax of 'The Firework-Maker's Daughter.

'" This lesson is based on this copy of "The Firework-Maker's Daughter" by Philip Pullman, and you may wish to refer to it.

Pause the video and get your copy of the book now.

Great, now I know you have the book with you.

During this lesson, you'll need to be listening and looking carefully and there'll be tasks where you need somebody to talk to.

You'll also need a piece of paper and pen or pencil for writing your plan.

I hope you're feeling excited and ready to learn.

Let's get started! The learning outcome for today's lesson is, I can plan a well-structured paragraph for part two of the climax.

Here are our keywords.

Let's practise saying them.

My turn.

Your turn.

Climax.

Ambitious vocabulary.

Show and tell.

Speech.

Plan.

Great job.

Let's take a look at their definitions.

The climax of a story is the point in the narrative where the suspense and excitement reaches its highest point.

Ambitious vocabulary is high-level language in writing that meets the text's purpose.

Show and tell is a writing technique for showing a character's feelings with description of their actions, body language and facial expressions.

Speech is the communication of someone's thoughts through words.

And a plan is a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text.

There are two parts to today's lesson.

In the first part, we will be preparing to plan and in the second part, you'll be writing your plan.

So let's begin with preparing to plan.

"The Firework-Maker's Daughter" can be structured like this.

Opening.

Build-up.

Climax.

Resolution.

In this lesson, we are planning the climax.

The purpose of the climax is to describe the main action and take the suspense and excitement to its highest point.

The climax in chapter five continues to build suspense and causes the reader to question whether Lila will succeed or survive.

Summarising the key moments for Lila in the climax.

Let's remind ourselves what happens.

Lila entered the Grotto hopeful, but she found only silence and darkness.

A flicker of light became a thousand fireflies who lit up the cave.

The great fire spirit Razvani emerged from the centre of the light.

Razvani was furious and mocked Lila for coming empty handed.

Razvani instructed Lila to enter the flames anyway and she did.

Lila couldn't cope with the agonising heat.

Then Chulak arrived, she drank the magical water and survived the flames.

You have already written about key moments one, two, and three in part one of the climax.

Today, you'll be planning part two of the climax.

In part two, you will be focusing on the following key moments in Lila's quest.

Razvani was furious and mocked Lila.

She felt afraid and desperate to try and complete her quest.

Then she entered the flames anyway.

Despite being scared because she was still committed.

The heat was agonising, but then she heard a voice call out and we know that she survived the flames in the end.

At this key moment, she was experiencing torture, but then she felt relieved.

You will be developing precise and ambitious vocabulary to describe this part of Lila's quest.

Let's check your understanding.

Put to the following moments in Lila's journey in the correct order, a, Razvani instructed Lila to enter the flames anyway and she did, b, Lila couldn't cope with the agonising heat.

Then Chulak arrived, she drank the magical water and survived the flames, and c, Razvani was furious and mocked Lila for coming empty handed.

Pause the video and number these one to three now to show the order in which they happen.

Let's take a look at the answers.

First, Razvani was furious and mocked Lila for coming empty handed.

Second, Razvani instructed Lila to enter the flames anyway and she did.

Third, Lila couldn't cope with the agonising heat.

Then Chulak arrived, she drank the magical water and survived the flames.

Well done.

The use of precise and ambitious vocabulary helps to create vivid imagery in the reader's mind.

It is important we choose a range of verbs and adverbs that enhance the description of the climax.

It also allows us to convey emotions through show and tell.

In paragraph two, you'll be writing speech for the conversation between Lila and Razvani.

Your choice of words are crucial for conveying their emotions and how they spoke to each other.

Using precise and ambitious verbs and adverbs will enhance the description of Razvani and Lila's conversation.

Here is an example.

The great fire spirit blazed as he furiously stomped towards Lila.

"How dare you enter my Grotto without permission," roared Razvani.

Let's take a look at the use of precise and ambitious vocabulary within these sentences.

Blazed is a great example of a precise verb to describe Razvani's movements and appearance and it also hints at his emotions.

Furiously stomped is a good example of an adverb and verb being used together.

It describes how Razvani stomped furiously.

How dare you, is a great example of show and tell for Razvani's anger.

And roared is a precise verb and it is also a synonym for said.

It's describes how Razvani spoke.

Let's take a look at each key moment in more detail.

For the first key moment, Razvani was furious.

We know he mocked Lila for coming empty handed and she felt afraid and desperate.

We can use precise and ambitious vocabulary to describe their speech, movements and feelings.

Let's take a look at some examples.

For Razvani, we might say, he furiously roared, and scoffed and laughed at Lila.

And for Lila, we might say, she trembled in fear or nervously stuttered her words.

Let's look at the second key moment.

Lila entered the flames anyway.

We know she was scared, but remained committed.

What precise and ambitious vocabulary might we generate for this moment? For Razvani, we might say, he revelled in Lila's fear, and demanded or instructed her.

And for Lila, we might say, she pleaded desperately, and submitted herself to the fire.

Let's take a look at the third key moment.

We know that Lila experienced agonising heat.

Then she heard a voice call out and she managed to survive.

At first, she was tortured, but then she felt relieved.

This key moment involves a new character, Chulak.

What precise and ambitious vocabulary could we use to describe Lila and Chulak's speech, movements and feelings.

For Lila, we might say, she cried out in pain, and clasped and guzzled the magical water.

The Chulak, we might say, he called out urgently to Lila, and thrust the magical water at her.

True or false? When writing speech for a conversation, we only use the verb said.

Pause the video and select your answer now.

That is false.

Well done.

Now, can you justify your answer? a, synonyms for said and adverbs provide greater detail about how a character spoke and felt.

Or b, precise verbs and adverbs form expanded noun phrases.

Pause the video now and select the correct justification.

The answer is a.

Well done.

Using synonyms for said when reporting speech provides greater detail about how a character spoke and felt, and using adverbs can also do this.

It's now time for a task.

Fill in the blanks with precise and ambitious vocabulary.

I will read this to you now.

The great fire spirit and furiously towards Lila.

"Who to enter my Grotto?" Razvani.

Lila and struggled to get her words out.

"My, my name is Lila and I'm in search of the special ingredient so I can become the finest Firework-Maker," she nervously.

The words you have to choose from are, trembled, bounded, roared, blazed, stuttered, dares.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Let's take a look at the answers together.

The great fire spirit blazed and furiously bounded towards Lila.

"Who dares to enter my Grotto?" Roared Razvani.

Lila trembled and struggled to get her words out.

"My, my name is Lila and I'm in search of the special ingredient so I can become the finest Firework-Maker," she nervously stuttered.

Hopefully, you spotted a key difference between the synonyms for said that were used to describe the way Razvani spoke and the way Lila spoke.

Razvani was more powerful and the Grotto was his home and he was angry about Lila coming in empty handed, so he roared.

Whereas Lila wanted Razvani's help and she feared him, so she stuttered her words.

Well done for filling in the blanks with precise and ambitious vocabulary.

It's now time for the second part of the lesson where you will be writing your plan.

When we write a plan, we use notes.

Notes are concise and capture key vocabulary and information.

For the climax, it is important you include precise and ambitious vocabulary.

The purpose of notes is to help the writer to organise information easily for future use.

We use bullet points when note-taking.

They look like this.

Let's check your understanding.

What will you need to include in your plan? a, full sentences with capital letters and full stops, b, bullet points for notes, c, precise and ambitious vocabulary, d, unnecessary information.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are b, bullet points for notes.

And c, precise and ambitious vocabulary.

Well done.

It's now time for you to fill in the plan for the first key moment.

The key moment is, Razvani was furious and mocked Lila for coming empty handed.

You have a box to develop vocabulary for Razvani and Lila.

Develop ambitious verbs and adverbs to describe their movements and how they spoke and felt.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Welcome back and well done for doing some brilliant note-taking for your plan.

Let's take a look at some of the examples I saw.

For Razvani, he furiously roared, scoffed and laughed, bellowed, this was a really ambitious verb.

And for Lila, nervously stuttered.

This is a great way to describe how she spoke.

Trembled in fear, and hesitantly replied.

It's now time for you to fill in the plan for the second key moment.

The key moment is, Razvani instructed Lila to enter the flames anyway and she did.

Pause the video now and fill out the boxes for Razvani and Lila.

I saw some more wonderfully ambitious vocabulary.

Let's take a look at some examples for this key moment.

For Razvani, revelled in her fear.

I loved this example.

It means that he enjoyed watching Lila's fear.

Demanded/instructed, and watched in amusement.

And for Lila, pleaded desperately, accepted her fate, and submitted herself.

Well done.

It's now time to fill in the plan for the third and final key moment.

Lila couldn't cope with the agonising heat.

Then Chulak arrived, she drank the magical water and survived the flames.

For this part of the plan, you are developing precise and ambitious vocabulary to describe how Lila and Chulak spoke, moved and felt.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Let's take a look at some examples for the third key moment.

For Lila, cried out in pain, her strength wavered.

I really liked this example.

It means that she started to feel like she was losing her strength to stay in the fire.

And clasped and guzzled.

This would be referring to the magical water.

And for Chulak, called out urgently.

I really liked the use of the adverb urgently here.

Thrust it at her, and anxiously watched.

Using the adverb anxiously here would let the reader know that Chulak felt nervous about whether the magical water would save Lila or not.

Well done for completing your plan for part two of the climax.

We've now come to the end of our lesson, so let's go over a summary together.

The purpose of the climax is to describe the main action and take the suspense and excitement to its highest point.

Precise and ambitious vocabulary create vivid images for the reader for each key moment of the climax.

An effective plan has vocabulary organised concisely and neatly.

Careful verb and adverb selection can convey characters' feelings through show and tell.

And synonyms for said are used to convey character emotion in speech.

Well done again for your hard work.

I have really enjoyed teaching you and I hope you are feeling ready to write part two of the climax.
