A good Year 7 lesson for the first week of term to encourage independent reading. You will need at least one copy of Michael Morpurgo’s essay We Are What We Read in which he reflects on his childhood experiences of reading. This is published in Singing for Mrs Pettigrew: A Storymaker’s Journey, Walker Books, 2007. Read the essay with/ to the class without telling them the name of the writer. Discuss the four questions (teacher’s notes provided) and then ask class to guess the name of the writer using the clue in question 4. They may be surprised to learn that Morpurgo did not like books when he was their age. In pairs, pupils discuss questions about their own reading experiences, then produce a piece of writing to describe their own Personal Reading History. A 3-page Word document

Review - I purchased the Red Riding Hood panto script and used it as a scripted performance with my year 10s. Everyone loved it. Well written, funny and clever. 100% recommend! Are you looking for an end of term performance which your pupils and teachers will love?! This short 6-page / 9 character Little Red Riding Hood script was originally written as a staff pantomime production, however it could easily be performed by a group of young actors as part of a presentation evening and/or Drama Club. Lots of fun for actors and audience is guaranteed - enjoy! :) CHARACTER LIST Narrator Mrs Hood Wolf Red Riding Hood Woodcutter Robin Hood Witch Grandma Hood Goldilocks For more pantomime scripts (10 in total!), check out this bundle; https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/short-pantomime-script-super-bundle-13187484 If possible, please purchase the School Licence - this will allow you to share with colleagues and print unlimited copies for performers.

Then developing a cut out in black paper looking at the strange, Gothic type black and white silhouettes of some of his scenes and making a page on his settings using black paper and cut-outs. The slides give a number of the silhouette type scenes for students to use for inspiration.

Some of the You tube film clips are linked on the slides as well. Students draw out the character and then colour this in. Tim Burton’s scenes are often dark and atmospheric and this is an ideal opportunity to practise drawing with white chalk, charcoal or black soft pastel on black sugar paper and to do a drawing of one of his black and white characters. There are some examples to use to copy from to support the students learning. This black and white scene can further be photocopied and collaged onto a bottle. There is also an extension task to make a head on a wine bottle in paper-mache and lots of inspirational examples of student work Another fun task is to play with wool and paper and to make a rolled animal using newspaper in rolls and then wrapping wool around this and to bend into shape. This can further be embellished by adding bits and bobs like buttons, braid and other decorative details to develop a character type animal which has been inspired by Burton.
