English Distance Learning Project- 'Sinister Stories'- Week One and Two

A week by week project plan focusing on the word ‘sinister’.

The project consists of four hours of work in one week with tasks like:

Creating a sinister character and then making a model of them
Creating a sinister setting and creating a model of it
Creating a storyboard
Creating a producer pitch

There is a ‘stuck’ and ‘challenge’ section for each task, for differentiation. Here YouTube video links and images are provided for inspiration as well as extra resources for support.

All accompanying worksheets will be provided in the pack too.

I have designed two weeks of the project so far, with another two weeks to come. All skills covered in the project have also been linked to the GCSE specification.

By the end of the project students will have a lot of different types of work to show off, of which they will be asked to present in a book fair style table top presentation, on their return to school.
