Presentation Transcript
On the following slide, there is a link to a video clip. This is based on a planet called Pandora from the film Avatar. I ve also included pictures of the planet to inspire your writing. Your task today will be to write a diary entry as though you are an astronaut visiting Pandora for the first time. You will need to listen closely to the description (you might want to note key words/facts down) so you can discuss your experiences, thoughts and feelings when landing on this planet.

Your task today will be to write a diary entry (first person) as though you are an astronaut landing on Pandora. Before you start writing, you need to produce a small plan to help jot down your initial ideas, so you have a structure when writing. Your diary entry will need to have several paragraphs. On the following slide will be guidelines you may wish to follow these are just ideas that you may want to include, however, you can add more. Your plan can be either notes or verbally to an adult or a sibling.
Ideas to consider including (in order): describing the journey landing meeting the inhabitants seeing Pandora at night Write your diary entry in your green book. You may want to draw lines or stick lined paper in to make sure that your writing is neat. REMEMBER Pandora is uninhabitable (unsuitable for living in) for humans as the atmosphere is toxic. This means you (the astronaut) MUST wear breathing masks when on Pandora at all times (this might link in with your thoughts/feelings). Try including a range of thoughts/feelings throughout. I would like your diary entry to also include complex sentences, parenthesis and prepositional phrases.
Does it make sense? When you re happy with it, read your story to your family.
