Creative Writing - show, don’t tell when it comes to emotions. VEMB is a simple mnemonic for Voice, Expression, Movement and Breathing. Encourage pupils to take note in their reading and their writing of how emotions are presented. Pick up any novel and choose a page on which to spot how VEMB has been used to show emotions, not simply state them. Complete the VEMB resource for five emotion groups: sadness, pain, anger, fear and happiness - there will be some overlap - be sure to discuss this (See VEMB: Ideas for help) Complete the activity : ‘When he heard the news’ in order to consolidate what has just been taught about VEMB.

Developed from the wonderful film short ‘Father and Daughter’ , this story is without dialogue and therefore open to endless interpretation for both KS3 and KS4 students. I use this with both KS3 and GCSE students in order to develop their understanding of emotions in their writing. The plot details are sparse, and it is up to the pupil to add detail. Detail is the key to this piece of work. Included in this resource is a series of questions chosen to stimulate thought and to observe the methods of storytelling which can be replicated in the pupil’s own writing. (Please note the mention of VEMB in Q6 refers to Voice, Expression, Movement and Breathing - as the fundamental ways in which we non verbally demonstrate our feelings - look in My Shop for further VEMB resources) Also included are suggested answers. At the end of the resource is a short task - but this can be exchanged for a much longer one looking at the whole film - this should be at the discretion of the teacher and their knowledge of the ability level of their students. The film short is available on YouTube but please note that the audio track of one of the YouTube versions is slightly off - best quality is from the BFI Screen Shorts DVD.
