Hi, everyone.

My name is Ms. Voyle, and welcome to this lesson where you are going to be planning your second diary entry based on "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 now.

Great.

Now you have your copy of the book with you.

During this lesson, you'll need to be listening and looking carefully.

There'll be tasks where you need somebody to talk to.

And you'll 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 write a plan for my second diary entry from the perspective of Lila.

Here are the keywords for today's lesson.

Let's practise saying them.

My turn, your turn.

Oral recount, first person perspective, plan.

Great job.

Let's take a look at their definitions.

An oral recount is speaking aloud to retell events that have already happened.

First person perspective is the point of view where the speaker or writer is the "I" character providing a personal account of events or experiences.

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 providing an oral recount, and in the second part, we will be writing the plan.

So let's begin with an oral recount.

What do we know about "The Firework-Maker's Daughter"? It is a quest narrative written by Philip Pullman.

The protagonist in the story is a girl named Lila, who is the daughter of Lalchand, a firework-maker.

Lila and Lalchand's relationship is central to the plot because of their conflicting views on her future.

Lila wants to be a firework-maker, but Lalchand doesn't think it is appropriate for a girl and wants her to focus on finding a husband instead.

Lila discovered that her father had shared the secret to firework-making with her friend Chulak, and she decided to defy her father and run away on her quest to become a firework-maker.

You are going to be writing your second diary entry from the perspective of Lila in "The Firework-Maker's Daughter." The second diary entry is written at this point in time.

Lila has decided to go on a quest to the volcano of Merapi.

Your diary entry will follow this structure.

It will have a date and greeting.

Paragraph one will provide a recount of discovering that Lila's father told Chulak the secret.

Paragraph two will provide a recount of Lila's decision to leave and writing the letter to her father.

And you will finish with a sign-off.

In this lesson, you are going to write a plan for your second diary entry.

You are going to write your plan in first person perspective as Lila.

First person perspective is the point of view where the writer is the "I" character providing a personal account of events or experiences.

You will recall the key events and emotions she experienced, and you will make notes of these for each paragraph.

Paragraph one, a recount of discovering that her father told Chulak the secret.

And paragraph two, a recount of her decision to leave and writing her father a letter.

We are now going to prepare ourselves for paragraph one, a recount of discovering that her father told Chulak the secret.

Let's remind ourselves of what led up to this moment.

Chulak saw how upset Lila was about not knowing the secrets to firework-making, and he wanted to help.

Chulak said he would visit Lila's father to discover the secret for her.

Chulak told Lila he had been successful and shared the secret.

How did she feel at this point in the story? We know that she felt furious, angry, betrayed, because her father had shared the secret with Chulak, even though he wouldn't tell her.

Let's check your understanding.

Which of the following thoughts would convey Lila's emotions about discovering her father told Chulak the secret? A, I felt so happy to know the secret.

B, I cannot believe my own father would betray me this way.

C, I have never felt this angry in my life! D, I wanted to speak to my father.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are B, I cannot believe my own father would betray me this way, and C, I have never felt this angry in my life! Both of these examples convey how angry and betrayed Lila felt.

Well done.

We are now going to prepare ourselves for paragraph two, a recount of Lila's decision to leave and writing the letter to her father.

Let's remind ourselves of what led up to this moment.

She decided to leave on her quest to the volcano of Merapi.

She wrote a letter telling her father of her plans.

She prepared herself for her journey.

How did Lila feel at this point in the story? She felt determined and committed to her journey and her quest, but also felt some nervousness.

Let's check your understanding.

Which of the following thoughts would convey Lila's emotions after she decides to leave on her quest? A, I am going to exceed my father in his own craft! B, I think I should just give up on my dreams. C, I won't hold a grudge against my father.

D, it is a big journey to take alone, but I am so determined.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are A, I am going to exceed my father in his own craft, this shows her commitment to achieving her goal, and D, it is a big journey to take alone, but I am so determined.

This sentence conveys nervousness but determination.

Well done.

It's now time for your first task, and it is a talk task.

Recount the key events and emotions for each paragraph.

Remember to speak from first person perspective as Lila, so using the first person pronoun "I." For paragraph one, a recount of discovering her father told Chulak the secret.

Recount what happened, and thoughts and feelings you have as Lila about what happened.

For paragraph two, recount of decision to leave and writing the letter.

Recount what happened, and thoughts and feelings you have as Lila about what happened.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Welcome back.

It was wonderful to listen to your oral recounts, and you did such a great job at speaking from the first person perspective as Lila.

Let's take a look at some examples of what I heard.

For paragraph one, a recount of discovering Lila's father told Chulak the secret.

What happened? When Chulak saw how upset I was, he went to find out the secret from my father for me.

My father actually told him! For thoughts and feelings.

I felt so angry and betrayed.

I can't believe my own father would do this to me.

For paragraph two, a recount of Lila's decision to leave and writing the letter.

What happened? I decided to go on a quest to the volcano of Merapi by myself.

I wrote my father a letter telling him of my decision to leave.

And for thoughts and feelings.

I am nervous, but I have never felt so determined in my life.

I will become the finest firework-maker! Well done for preparing yourself for writing your plan.

It's now time for the second part of our lesson, writing the plan.

When we write a plan, we use notes.

Notes are concise and capture the most important information.

For a diary entry, this is the key events in chronological order and thoughts and feelings.

The purpose of notes is to help the writer summarise and organise key information for future use.

We do not write in full sentences.

We use bullet points when note-taking.

They look like this.

Let's check your understanding.

What will a written plan for your diary entry include? A, full sentences with capital letters and full stops.

B, bullet points for notes.

C, key events and thoughts and feelings.

D, unnecessary information.

Pause the video and select your answers now.

The answers are B, bullet points for notes, and C, key events and thoughts and feelings.

Well done.

Read the following sentence and consider this question.

How could I take the key words and phrases and turn them into note form for a plan? The full sentence is: When Chulak saw how upset I was, he went to find out the secret from my father for me.

Pause the video and consider which words in this sentence are the key words you would want to note down in your plan.

For note form, you might write, Chulak saw me upset, and he visited my father to discover secret.

This is an example of how I can take the key bits of information I know I want to write about and write them out of full sentences in note format.

Let's check your understanding.

Which of the following would be appropriate for notes as part of your plan? A, decided to go on quest to Merapi to discover secret.

B, Merapi.

C, I have decided to venture to the volcano of Merapi all by myself so I can discover the secret to firework-making.

Pause the video and select your answer now.

The answer is A, decided to go on quest to Merapi to discover secret.

This answer provides key words and details out a full sentence.

B provides just one key word and not enough information for your notes.

And C was written in a full sentence.

Well done for showing a great understanding of what note format should look like.

It's now time for your first task.

Write bullet point notes for paragraph one, which is a recount of discovering that Lila's father told Chulak the secret.

Remember to write in first person perspective as Lila.

On the left-hand side, you have space to bullet point what happened, and on the right-hand side, you have space to bullet point thoughts and feelings linked to each thing that happened.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Welcome back.

Well done for note-taking in first person perspective as Lila.

You did a great job at using note format.

Let's take a look at an example of the plan for paragraph one.

For what happened? Chulak saw how upset I was, wanted to help.

And for thoughts and feelings.

Felt frustrated, hopeless, wanted to know secret.

Then, Chulak visited my father to try and find out the secret for me.

And didn't think my father would actually tell Chulak.

Then, found out father actually told Chulak what the secret was.

And furious, betrayed, won't ever be able to forgive my father.

Well done for organising your notes chronologically for your plan for paragraph one.

It's now time for your second task, and I am certain that you are feeling like a pro at note-taking now.

Write bullet point notes for paragraph two, a recount of Lila's decision to leave and writing the letter to her father.

Remember to write in first person perspective as Lila.

Pause the video and do the task now.

Welcome back.

Well done for completing your plan.

Let's take a look at an example of the plan for paragraph two.

For what happened.

Decided to go on quest to Merapi to discover secret.

And thoughts and feelings.

Determined, going to exceed my father in his craft.

Then, wrote a letter telling my father my plans.

And serves him right, don't ever want to speak to him again.

Then, prepared myself for the journey ahead.

And nervous but excited, committed to the quest.

Well done for creating a great plan that will support you in writing your diary entry.

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

Oral rehearsal of a recount ensures we have a clear understanding of the chronology of events.

When rehearsing and planning for a diary entry, we do so in the first person perspective.

An effective plan for a diary entry contains key events in chronological order and thoughts and feelings.

A plan is written in note format using bullet points to capture the most important information.

And Lila's second diary entry will recount her discovering her father's betrayal and her decision to leave on her quest.

I've really enjoyed teaching you this lesson.
