Lesson video

Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Barren, and welcome to lesson six in our recycling unit, when we are changing the story of Anansi and Tiger to make it our own.

Now we've got a special visitor, who's come to talk to you today.

He's got all shy.

I don't know why.

Okay.

He says he's going to come out now.

Ready? But only if you say hello to him.

So can you give a big hello wave to Marcel? Go on, say "hello." Say "Hello Marcel!" There.

Does that make you feel better? Not as shy anymore.

He says yes.

Okay.

So the reason that Marcel has come along is because he's been thinking about some questions that he would ask Anansi if he ever got to meet him.

I wonder if you thought about what you would ask Ananci if you ever got to meet him.

So should we hear Marcel's question? I know that he wants to share it with you, to hear your thoughts.

So, are you ready, Marcel? You ready to tell them? Okay, go on then.

Well, tell me first.

Oh, that is a great question.

Marcel's question is, "if you could play any other trick, what would it be?" What a great question.

I wonder.

So when Ananci tricked Tiger into getting all of his stories from him, I wonder if Ananci could play any other trick in the world, what would it be? What else might Ananci want to get with a trick, do you think? I wonder if you could have a think about that? Maybe you can tell me the end of the lesson? They can do that, can't they.

They can have a think and then tell us at the end of the lesson.

Hmm.

Good idea.

Now I have a question for Ananci too.

So if I ever got to meet him, I would ask him this question: I'd ask him, do you ever feel bad after playing your tricks? Hmm.

I wonder if he does or not.

Interesting to think about.

I wonder if you could have a think about that too and let us know at the end of the lesson.

So, should we get onto today's learning? Let's do that, shall we? In today's lesson, we are going to box up our purpose.

Now to box up just means that we are going to organise our new stories into clear sections.

And we're going to do that so that we have a plan to help us write our stories in the next few lessons.

And boxing up the purpose just means that we are going to think about how we can make the action clear in each key section of our story.

And we're going to be doing that today by writing some key words alongside our pictures.

So, this is what today's lesson is going to look like.

First, a quick spending activity, and then we're going to box up the purpose.

Now in today's lesson, you will need an exercise book, or a piece of paper to write on, and a pen or pencil to write with.

If you can, also get your story map, your new story map for your recycled story.

That will help you with your boxing up.

So pause the video now and go and get those things, if you need to.

Amazing job! you're back and ready to start the learning today.

So let's begin with our spelling activity.

So these are the tricky words that you are going to practise spelling today.

Now, remember, we can't sound these words out.

We just have to learn them.

So let's practise reading them together first and we'll do that in different voices.

So it's going to be my turn, your turn, and remember to follow my hand signals so you know, when it's your turn.

Ready? Let's go.

First word- said.

My turn, said.

Your turn.

Said Said Said 'Oh Ogre!' Anansi said in his sing-song voice.

The word is said.

Next word, full.

My turn, full.

Your turn.

Full Full Full Brilliant!"I want my head to be full of stories," Thought Anansi.

The next word, some.

My turn, some.

Your turn.

Some Your turn.

Some Some "I want to get some stories from Tiger," thought Anansi.

The word is some.

The next word, she.

My turn, she.

Your turn.

She She She Let's pretend Peacock is a she, shall we? So the sentence is going to be, "She wanted to be even more magnificent." The word is she.

Next word, they.

My turn, they.

Your turn.

They They They Brilliant! " They wanted to get revenge on Anansi for tricking them." The word is they The next word, final word, we.

My turn, we.

Your turn.

My turn, we.

Your turn.

My turn, we.

Your turn.

Fantastic!"We should get our things back," they thought.

The word is we.

So those are your tricky words today.

And you've just heard me put them in story sentences of my own.

And those are some stories sentences from my new recycled story.

So I would like you now to pause the video and have it go at putting each of those tricky words into a story sentence of your own.

Put them in story sentences about your recycled story.

So pause the video now and have it go at that.

Okay.

Brilliant.

Can you tell me your favourite sentence that you just made up using one of your tricky words? Go on and tell me to your screen.

Now say "my favourite sentence is.

." Tell me now.

Wow! Brilliant sentences using your tricky words in sentences about your new story.

I love those! Well done! So, what you're going to do is practise using your look, cover, write, check strategy now to spell some of these tricky words.

So let's take the first word "said".

First of all, you are going to look at it carefully.

Then, you're going to cover it up.

You're, then, going to practise, writing it three times.

Then you're going to take your hand away and you are going to check.

Now at this point, if you've made any mistakes, you can correct them or you can keep practising spelling that word until you've got it right.

So I would like you to pause the video now and do your look cover, write, check strategy to help you spell these words and learn how to spell them.

So pause the video and do that.

So now we're ready to get onto the main parts of the lesson today.

And we are going to box up our new stories.

And our boxing grids are going to be really useful planning tool for helping us write our stories in the next few lessons.

Now we're ready to box up our new stories.

So, if you can, download and print your boxing grid or have a go at drawing a grid just like mine.

So if you're going to do that, you will need one, two, three columns across your page.

And then one, two, three, four, and there's another one at the bottom, five boxes down your page.

Use a ruler so that you can be as neat as possible, so you can see what you're doing.

Now then, let me talk you through these pictures down the side quickly.

So in the first box, we are going to draw pictures and write some key words to show the opening of our story.

So in that section, we're going to introduce characters, we are going to say where the story is set, and we're going to introduce the problem in our story.

In this next box, we are going to show Anansi's first trick.

In this box, We're going to show Anansi's second trick.

In this box, we are going to show Anansi's third trick.

And in our final box, we are going to show the ending of our story.

So, let's begin.

Now in the first box, the opening of the story hasn't changed.

It's the same as the original, isn't it.

So I'm going to draw my main character, Anansi.

There he is.

I'm also going to draw our next character, Tiger, and, here, I am also drawing setting, because I'm showing where the story is taking place.

We are in the jungle, aren't we, in Tiger's cave.

So there's tiger.

And what was the problem in this story? The problem is that's Anansi wants all of Tiger's stories and so he needs to find a way to get them.

So he is planning on tricking tiger.

So they make a deal, don't they? And that is Anansi's way of trying to solve his problem.

So now I'm going to write some key words for this opening section that are going to help me when I come to write the opening in the next lesson.

So first I'm going to write the word Anansi.

Now Anansi has a capital letter because it's his name.

Remember names always start with a capital letter, don't they.

So Anansi capital "A" And then it ends with an I, Anansi.

Now I'm going to write the word Tiger, Tiger, to show my next key character.

And Tiger is also going to have a capital letter because it's his name.

So watch me write it.

Capital T, Tiger.

And finally, I'm going to write the word "deal" to show how Anansi tries to solve his problem.

They make a deal, don't they? Sound this out with me.

Duh-ee-ll.

And it is the "ea" spelling for the sound "e" in "deal." Now your turn to fill out your first box on your boxing upgrades with the opening of the story.

Pause the video now and do that.

Okay.

Now we're ready to show Anansi's first trick.

So we know that Anansi tricks dog out of his bone, doesn't he? So let's draw a quick picture to show dog with his bone There we go.

Say, lets give his some teeth, some eyes, he's got one ear bigger than the other.

Hasn't he.

Nevermind Okay.

Here's his bone, right? So there's dog with bone.

Now in my story Anansi tricks dog out of his bone by throwing a stick and saying fetch, because he knows that Dog loves to play.

Now that might be different in your story.

You might have chosen eight different trick.

You might've had Anansi bringing out a big roast duck, or bringing out his lead and saying, "walkies," or different idea.

So if you've got a different idea, make sure you draw a picture to show that here.

So my keywords for this section, first, I'm going to write, "Oh dog!" because that is an important phrase in this part of the story.

So "o-h" spells "oh." and it starts with a capital letter because it's the first word that he says.

"Oh dog!" So dog, sound out dog with me, "duh-uh-guh.

" "Oh dog!" And I'm going to put an exclamation mark on the end because he calls his name, doesn't he? "Oh dog!" So he says it in a loud voice.

Now I'm going to write the word, stick, stick.

Sound out, stick with me.

"st-ih-kuh." Stick! That's an important word, isn't it? That is how Anansi tricks dog.

And finally, I'm going to write the word fetch.

Another important word in this section.

Fetch sounded out with me, "F-eh-t-ch." Fetch.

Fetch.

Fantastic.

And again, it's going to have an exclamation mark at the end because he says it in a loud voice.

He said fetch! Okay.

So that is my second box on my grid, showing you Anansi's first trick.

Okay.

So now you're going to fill out your second box on your boxing grid, showing Anansi's first trick in your story.

So make sure that your second picture shows your trick and that you write key words, that link to your trick for your story.

Pause the video now and do that.

And now we are ready to show Anansi's second trick.

So we know that Anansi's second trick is to trick Ogre out of his pot of gold that he sits on.

So here's Ogre, here's his pot of gold.

Now, in my story and Anansi tricks Ogre by telling him that there is a lovely lady ogre waiting for him down by the lake.

She's waiting to have dinner with him.

So there she is, looking lovely.

Okay.

Let's give her some arms, shall we? There is her plate, waiting to have dinner down by the lake.

Now you might have chosen this same trick or your trick might be different.

In which case, you're going to draw your picture to show your trick here.

Now I'm going to write "Oh Ogre" because that is an important phrase in this part of the story, isn't it? So "Oh", now watch me write "ogre." There we go.

O G R E spells Ogre.

"Oh Ogre!" And again, it's going to have an exclamation mark on the end because he calls in a loud voice.

Now I'm going to add a pot of gold.

So "pot" sound out "pot" with me.

"Puh-aw-tuh" Pot of gold.

"Guh-aw-l-duh." Gold.

Now you can write these in your box too.

"Oh Ogre!" And pot of gold, because that will be the same for your story.

But these words might change.

So now I'm going to write dinner.

That's important.

She's waiting to have dinner with him.

So dinner.

"Duh-ih-n-er" And two "n's" in dinner and it finishes "er".

So, "lady ogre".

I'm going to write "lady ogre." Lady ogre.

So, there we go.

Lady ogre.

These are my keywords: "Oh Ogre," "pot of gold," "dinner," and "lady ogre." Now you're going to do that box on your boxing grid.

Now your turn to fill out your third box to show a Anansi's second trick.

So,you can draw the picture of Ogre and the pot of gold like I said, but your second picture might be different if your trick is different from mine.

And then remember, you can write "Oh Ogre" and "pot of gold" but then your other words might be different.

They need to link with your trick, don't they? So the word surprise and birthday on the screen, in case you might want to use those.

Pause the video now and fill out this box on your box grid.

Now we're ready for Ananci's third trick.

So, how does Ananci trick Peacock out of his fan? Poor Peacock, giving away that beautiful fan.

So there's Peacock with his fan.

Now in my story, Ananci tricks peacock out of his fan by offering him a bright, shiny crown.

So, that is my bright, shiny crown.

So, my key words are going to be, "Oh Peacock!" Watch me write it, peacock.

"Oh Peacock!" again with an exclamation mark on the end because he calls his name loudly.

Then I'm going to write the word "bright." Sound out the word "bright" with me.

Bright.

"Buh-rr-eye-tuh." Bright-"igh." Try to graph there.

Shiny.

Try to write the word "shiny." Watch me write it.

Shiny.

And I'm going to write the word crown.

Sound out the word crown with me.

"Kuh-rr-ow-nn." Crown.

So those are key words for that section in my story.

Your words are going to be different if you've chosen to write a different trick.

So you can still write peacock, but these words might change.

You might write words like fly, or fastest, or roller skates.

Now time to fill out box four for Anansi's third trick.

So in your story, how does Ananci trick peacock? Make sure that you draw the picture to show your trick.

Now you can write "Oh Peacock" too but then your other words might be different if you've shown a different trick.

So you have got some key words at the bottom of your screen to help you, roller skates and fastest, if Anansi tricks peacock into giving him roller skates to try and make him the fastest running bird in the world.

Or fly, if he offers to swap the fan for wings.

Now you might have different ideas, and so you might write different words and that is fine.

So pause the video now and fill out that box in your grid.

Now we have come to the last box on our boxing grids, the ending of our story, which doesn't change, does it? It's the same ending.

So, poor Tiger has to give away all of his stories to Anansi, because Nancy gives him the things that he wants, and Tiger is honourable, so tiger keeps his word.

So, there we go.

And so the key words in my ending, I'm going to write the word belong.

Belong.

And I'm going to write the word stories.

Stories.

Watch me write it.

Stories.

Stories ends in I E S.

So those are my two key words for my ending section, belong and stories.

And finally it is over to you to fill out the last box on your boxing grid for the ending of the story.

And so that might look exactly the same as mine.

So pause the video now and do that.

Now you've got your finished boxing upgrades with pictures and words to show really clearly what happens in your new story, and that is going to help you with your writing in the next few lessons.

So keep hold of your boxing upgrids.

You're going to need them.

Now that brings us to the end of our learning today.

Now where is Marcel? Marcel! Marcel! Oh, here he is! Now Marcel and I were wondering if you'd had a chance to think about those questions that we asked at the beginning of the lesson.

We're really interested to hear your answers, aren't we Marcel? So Marcel's question was, if you could play any trick in the world, what would it be? That's what he would ask Anansi.

So if you were Anansi, what would you say to that? Imagine that you're Anansi.

What kind of trick do you think you would play? If you could play any trick in the world, go one tell us to your screen.

Say, "I would.

." Tell us.

Ooh.

Oh, all sorts of different tricks.

Should I tell you some of the ones that I heard? We heard you say that he might trick the sun into giving him all of its light! That would be disastrous, Wouldn't it? We also heard you say that he might trick the moon into giving him all of its silver.

Then he'd be rich, wouldn't he? And we heard you say that he might trick tortoise into helping him win the jungle sports day race.

Oh my goodness! All of these different tricks! Now my question was, do you think Anansi feels bad after he tricks people? I wonder, if you were Anansi what would you say to that? Go on and tell us to your screen.

Now say, "I think.

." Oh! Very interesting! So some of you think that Anansi would feel bad, but most of you think that he wouldn't! They don't think Anansi would feel bad.

They think that he enjoys being a trickster.

He enjoys playing tricks on people to get what he wants.

Do you agree Marcel? Hmm, I think I do too.

So we've had a little think there about some questions that we would ask Anansi and what he might say in response.

So that brings us to the end of today's lesson and we will see you in lesson eight.

We can't wait.

Bye!.
