Good Morning Year 6!
For the next few weeks, I am going to give you a different
writing task to complete each week.
Lesson one: developing ideas from a stimulus
This week's stimulus is a short animated film called
The Lighthouse.
While you are watching the video, think about the following questions:
- When the lighhousekeeper slams the window shut at the start, what do you think are his thoughts about the people outside having fun?
- How do you think the villagers feel when the light goes out?
- What is going through his head when he falls and breaks the light? What about the people on the boat?
- How does the creator build up the tension in the film?
In preparation for your writing task, do some research on lighthouses and lighthousekeepers.
Think about:
- - Where are lighthouses built? Why?
- - What are they made of?
- - How do they work?
- - What kind of person might become a lighthousekeeper?
