Literacy

L.O. To convey plot points without a narrator.

Traditionally, fictional story books are narrated, with a narrator describing the events, thoughts and feelings of the characters throughout. However, in many plays and films, there is no narrator to do this. Today, I would like you to watch the short clip attached from the film Nanny McPhee. How is the plot/storyline explained to the person watching without the use of a narrator? Please look at the following categories:

costumes

set design

dialogue

music and sound effects

facial expressions and body language

camera angles 

Consider all of these aspects of the video and how much information each one gives the viewer. Then write a paragraph or two to explain how much information you have gained about the plot already, from watching a short clip. 

Guided Reading

L.O. I can complete comprehension questions based on a text.

Please complete the comprehension questions below. Remember to write your answers in full sentences. The answers can be found in the word document attached.

1. The majority of Leila's lines end with exclamation marks. How would this influence your overall performance if you were cast as her in a production of this scene?

2. What does it mean when words from this script are in brackets?

3. What do you think is the funniest line in this scene? Why?

4. Would you like to see more of this play or invite your friends to see it? Why or why not?

5. Why is Omid 'deep in concentration'?

6. How does the actor playing Amir know they should say the line, 'WHAT?' very loudly?
