This resource contains ideas for creative literacy planning for the spine-tingling film ‘Francis’ by Dave Eggars. This film is available on the Literacy Shed.

Suitable for Key Stage 2.

It contains tried and tested ideas for:

• engaging your class in vibrant discussion
• applying their ideas to a piece of imaginative and creative writing
• illuminating their work with innovative artwork

This ‘Have you Tried?’ resource can form the basis for an outstanding, cross-curricular unit of literacy work.

Story synopsis: Teenager Francis Brandywine, on a camping trip with her parents, seeks solitude with a night-time jaunt on the lake. Under the stars, she’s perfectly alone. Or is she…? The film’s final twist is the perfect inspiration for creative writing.
