Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. ‘Lucky Dip’ is an animated short story.
  2. ‘Lucky Dip’ is set at the seaside and takes place mostly in an old arcade.
  3. Sequencing means putting the events in the right order so they make sense.
  4. Retell means to tell a story or explain something again in our own words.
  5. Fronted adverbials of time tell the reader when the events in the sentence took place.

Common misconception

Pupils may find it hard to sequence the events/ images after watching the animation once.

Provide an opportunity to re-watch the animation. For Task A, print off the images and children can work in pairs or small groups to sequence the story on large sugar paper.

Keywords

  • Sequence - putting things in a specific order

  • Retell - to summarise a story in our own words

  • Fronted adverbials of time - a sentence starter that tells the reader when something happens

  • Animated story - a narrative brought to life through the medium of animation

  • Stills - freeze-frame pictures taken from a moving image - they show one moment of the action, like pressing pause on a video

You may wish to add a slide with examples of popular and current animated movies and TV shows that your class will know to help them understand what animations are.
