To add some Christmas fun to our writing, Grade 6 has been analyzing the animated short film – A Christmas Star. With the help of this video, we have been dissecting what goes in to making a great narrative story. Although this film is short, it is complex, as the students see the main character as greedy and selfish with few redeeming qualities. Keep checking in with your child this week, as he/she continues to build their own story based off of this short film.
Give it a watch and discuss all of the key details and events with your child, reminding them that the more details added to a narrative, the more entertaining and interesting it will be for the reader.
