P4b’s Persuasive Posters!

Leave a comment

LI: We are learning to use text and colour techniques to represent ideas.
SC: A successful poster will include:
* Picture of the product
* Price
* Slogan
* Persuasive techniques
* Include key information from the text

In class we have been learning all about advertising and persuasive techniques. As part of our IDL Dragon’s Den challenge we have been working in groups to plan and design an advert poster for our own marvellous medicines.
Once we finished our plans we then used the Netbooks to recreate our posters on Microsoft Word then printed them out. It was really interesting learning new computer skills!

P4b – Marvellous Freeze Frames

Leave a comment

LI: We are learning to create a freeze frame of a key moment in the text.

SC: I can work with others.
I can consider body language, facial expressions and use of props.
I can perform my drama to others and accept and provide constructive feedback.

In P4b this week we have been using drama to further develop our understanding of George’s Marvellous Medicine IDL Context. In groups, we were given a key moment from the text and asked to create a freeze frame/still image to represent this. We had to consider: body language, facial expressions and use of props (imaginative and physical). Once we had prepared our freeze frames, our classmates then had to use the freeze frame to guess which part of the text is being represented.

P4b’s Marvellous Character Descriptions

1 Comment

Learning Intention: We are learning about the key features of a character description.
Success Criteria:
– I can discuss the key features of character descriptions and can highlight these on given examples.
– I understand what a simile is, can give an example and highlight a simile in a piece of text.
– I can plan a character description for George/Granny from George’s Marvellous Medicine using ambitious vocabulary and similes.

P4 have started their novel based IDL Topic on Roald Dahl’s George’s Marvellous Medicine this week. In writing, we have been looking closely at character descriptions and what key information authors include in their stories to help us build up a picture of the characters in our imagination. We worked in pairs to highlight key character information from different pieces of text and then used this to help us plan our own individual character description of George or Granny.
