Indiana Jones - Adventure, survival stories - Implementing genre features - Internal dialogue

Indiana Jones - Adventure, survival stories - Implementing genre features - Internal dialogue - Could alternatively be used as a stimulus for a ‘big write.’

I found very little in terms of creative content in this area so made my own creative lesson up. (Delivered to a year 5/6 class of 30 children.)

RESOURCE FEATURES…
Lesson Plan (used in an observation lesson.)
PowerPoint - Including embedded video clips, starter to the lesson and details of activity.
Worksheet for starter asking the children to name the genre from a general description. (Answers on PowerPoint.)
Separate video clip for lesson

All you need for a creative literacy lesson with the following objectives and success criteria.

Learning Objective: To know and understand the features of survival / adventure stories

Success criteria:
• Powerful verbs
• Dialogue and internal voice (the PowerPoint / clips are especially useful for this concept.)
• Description to create excitement

Children are then asked to produce a piece of creative writing (as set out in the lesson plan / PowerPoint) with the film clip as a stimulus.
