Key learning points
- Imagining you are the character helps to understand events and generate descriptions of the story
- Describing how a character is looking or what they are doing helps us to understand the plot of a story.
- Facial expressions and movements help the audience understand what is happening, such as fear from the goat
- There are different ways to express emotions. Facial expressions and actions help us to show feelings and emotions.
- The feelings we have can result in actions.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate vocabulary to explain the expressions and movements.
The purpose of learning cycle 1 is to provide the children with vocabulary. Narrate how the children are feeling in their freeze-frames and get them to repeat. For example, you may say 'You look horrified.' and the children repeat 'We are horrified'.
