Today students will be reading stories, watching video performances, writing dramatic scripts, and acting in class plays!
First, students will read some of the winning short stories from the BBC's 500 words contest, written by 10-12 year old authors. Click this link to learn more about the contest.
Next, students will watch video of actors from the BBC Radio Drama Company as they perform two of the winning stories, Splash by Millie Haldane, and Defining Moments by Isobel Harwood.
After reading the stories and watching the performances, students will begin to write their own dramatic scripts. In groups of four, students will write plays about the characters from "Splash" and "Defining Moments". To see details of this assignment, click here.
