Friday 30th April LO: To write a script Success Criteria: I can write in a script format I can give stage directions
Our next steps are to write a script of the story of Anansi the Spider Man What is a script? How do the actors know what to say? What are stage directions?
Before we start, lets review how speech is used in stories with inverted commas. Write and punctuate these sentences in your book. Put those in the basket, please, replied Mrs Jones. Todd shouted loudly, Look out for the boat! Don t forget your jacket, mum reminded me. Darius reminded them, The show starts in an hour.
Anansi the Spider Man (Anansi has been called before the king. He enters the room and bows.) King: Anansi, I have a task that I need you to complete. I need you to bring me to items within the week. Anansi: My King, I am happy to oblige! What are the two items that I shall be seeking? King: Ahhh, this is what will make the task a true challenge for you, Anansi. I will not tell you what the items are. You must find this out for yourself. Anansi: Yes, your excellency. It will be a challenge! King : And Anansi, if you don t have this completed by the end of the week, I will have you executed. (Anansi has a look of concern on his face)
You can use the story to help you write the parts of each character. Anytime that you see inverted commas, this will be part of the script.
