This resource contains ideas for creative literacy planning for the thought-provoking film ‘Dangle’ by Phil Traill. 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 about the curiosity and responsibility
• applying their ideas to a write a comic book about the story
• developing their ideas further by making a film based on Dangle

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

Story synopsis: As a man takes a relaxing walk across a snowy landscape, he discovers a rope hanging from the sky. After much thought, he pulls it. Incredibly, day turns to night. But now what? Should he pull it again? Who is responsible when things go wrong?
