  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions, style, vocabulary) so that we can communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for different purposes.
    • We are PLANNING to use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g., libraries, databases, computer networks, video) so that we can gather and synthesize information and to create and communicate knowledge about our lives - who we are and where we come from.

    LI: To plan a narrative using a story board. 


    Steps to success: 


    MUST: I can order key events in a story. 

    SHOULD: I can use sensory and figurative language to describe the  setting and character. 

    COULD: I can make predictions and plan an alternative ending to  the animation.


    Today you are going to use a story board to order the  main events from the animation ‘Alma’.  


    You are then going to plan what happens next to  Alma (after she has been turned into a doll).


    Using the images attached, plan your  narrative of Alma. 


    Remember to make notes (using bullet points) on the  following: 

    • setting description 

    • character thoughts and feelings 

    • character actions and motivations 

    • include figurative language















































    Now plan an alternative ending. 

    • What happens next to the doll of Alma? 

    • Does she escape?  

    • Does the doll shop owner appear? 

    • Can Alma help the next child and stop her becoming  another victim of the magical doll shop? 



    Create a storyboard of at least 6 cells using storyboardthat.com or CANVA.com to show a new ending of the story.



    It’s up to you!
