Good morning everyone!
Today we start the last month in this weird school year. And not only in this school year, for you this is your last month at the school!
As far as your literacy lessons are concerned, today we are going to continue working with the "Snow White in New York" story. As you will remember, las week we compared this story with the original version of the fairy tale. That is what we are going to work on today: fairy tales.
We are going to discover how fairy tales are structured. First of all, we have a video to watch about the plot structure:
Now lets start talking about the plot in fairy tales. We are going to do one input and two output activities (one written and one online). They are part of the Snow White in New York mini-unit, so you can use its pages for doing it.
For our input, we are going to need the following template (if you do not have a printer, you can copy it):
This input consists on a "pyramind" in which we explain how a fairy tale plot usually works. First, you have to create the structure, and then you will have to write the necessary information for each part of the plot. Here we have a video in which it is explained how to create the structure with the given template:
Now, let's start writing what each part means. You have to copy the definitions below their flap in from the pyramid (you copy the definition of exposition under the exposition flap, and so on) I will also write some examples, I thik it is more clear with the examples, but you do not need to copy them if you do not want to. I am going to define them in the order that they happen in the story, from the first to the last:
Exposition: In the exposition the characters and set are presented. The main event is usually introduced. For instance, in Little Red Riding Hood, the exposition presents us the girl, her mother, and the main event: she has to take food to her grandmother's house.
Rising action: Those are the problems and events that complicate the main event. In the Little Red Riding Hood, the rising action would be when she walks through the forest and the wolf lies to her.
Climax: This is when the main problem reaches its peak, the most complicated moment of the story. In the example, it would be when Little Red Riding Hood arrives into her grandmother's house and she realises that the wolf is dressed up as her grandmother.
Falling action: This refers to the events which happen after the climax and prepare the story to get to its end. In this case, when the little girl runs away from her grandmother's house and a hunter goes after the wolf.
Resolution: How the story ends. This refers to the way in which the problems are finally solved. In the example, the hunter kills the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood and her granny are finally safe.
Now that you know how a fairy tale's plot works, can you identify the different parts of the plot in the Snow White in New York story? I am sure you can! To do so, you are going to create an output with this template (remeber you can print it or copy it):
Here you have the explanation for preparing the output:
Now that you have the new pyramid ready, you only have to write below each part, the corresponding part of Snow White in New York (you can find helpful the examples I gave you with the Little Red Riding Hood story).
To conclude this day full of work, you are going to complete an easy online worksheet in which you have to read a very short story (it is just one paragraph) and answer some multiple choice questions. You also have to match definitions of the parts of the plot with their part. When you finish it, you have to click on "compartir con tu profesor" there, you have to write your name and my email address (lunateacherluna@gmail.com) OR my code "s1piozdeo6".
Now, you are going to express your opinion on "How schools should be like next September". You are going to do it orally, and you are using a website that I am going to share with you. At this website, you can record your video and you can watch your classmates videos and even answer to them. This is private, so only your school peers and I will watch your videos. You do not have to prepare anything this time, just think on how school should be like after coronavirus (from less pupils in the class and safety measures to online trainning, or even new subjects or teaching-learning ways that you propose. It is your opinion!
To make it work, only write your e-mail address, and press the green button to record your video. You can add text and stickers to your video!
That's all for today! I hope you learnt a lot about the structure of fairy tales and you organised your ideas!
See you next Thursday! Have a nice day!
