Literacy homework

Please complete this homework on paper. It is due on Wednesday, 4th December.

This week we have been looking at the features of playscripts. 5MD have been writing their own playscript for Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' and I'm very pleased with the work I have seen so far.

Your homework this week is to transform the following short story into a playscript. You don't need to include every detail and you can add some of your own ideas.

Remember to split the story into scenes and to add stage directions! You can even continue the story if you would like to.

David’s new watch

 

“Thanks, Dad!” exclaimed David, as he made an eager grab at the box. Excitedly, he tore off the wrapping and lifted the lid. Inside was a brand new watch – not just any watch, but the watch he had been wishing for for months. It was shiny black with silver trimmings; waterproof to a depth of 100m; had 2 different alarm tones and told the time in London, New York, Sydney and Tokyo. His mum was looking on disapprovingly.

“Now, David, you must look after that watch. It was very expensive and you know how careless you are,” said his mum. David sighed. He had nagged his mum for ages but she always said no. Luckily his dad was a really soft touch! But this time, David promised himself, he would be very careful…

Next morning, just as David was leaving for school, his mum stopped him.

“You had better leave your new watch at home today,” she advised. “Isn’t it P.E. this afternoon?”

“Ok,” David agreed reluctantly, beginning to undo the strap.

“Have a good day,” called his mum from the kitchen. David looked at the watch gleaming in his hand. He was desperate to show it off at school. After all, what could possibly happen? He was going to be so careful…

“Wow!” cried James.

“Best watch ever!” said Tom enviously.

All went well during the morning. David was very careful of his new watch (even at playtime). Cheerfully, he got changed for P.E., which was his favourite lesson. Year 6 played a great game of hockey, then tumbled back into class, hot and breathless, to get dressed. Disaster!

“I can’t find my watch!” hissed David in a panic. Frantically, he turned his P.E. bag upside down and scrabbled through his kit. Where could it be?
