GCWC - The Velveteen Rabbit (ages 7-9)
"An inspirational tale bursting with opportunities for learning and writing!"
وصف الخدمة
Course description This course will run on Tuesdays at 2pm UKT / 9pm HKT from 06.06.2023 for eight weeks. A stuffed rabbit sewn from velveteen is given as a Christmas present to a small boy. The boy plays with his other new presents and forgets the velveteen rabbit for a time. These presents are modern and mechanical, and they snub the old-fashioned velveteen rabbit. The wisest and oldest toy in the nursery, the Skin Horse, which was owned by the boy's uncle, tells the rabbit about toys magically becoming real due to love from children: "Real isn't how you are made... It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become real". The rabbit is awed by this idea, but his chances of achieving this wish are slight. Lesson 1 - Introducing the context and main character (what would your toy say / feel if they could speak) Lesson 2 - Character profiles (understanding the different characters and learning how to describe them using evidence from the text - grammar on how to correctly quote evidence from a text). Lesson 3 - Writing as the rabbit (formality, vocabulary, expression, emphasis, pausing - sentence lengths to achieve the desired effect). Lesson 4 - The Rabbits' complaint (complaint letter writing) Lesson 5 - The theme of love and the impact of that on the rabbit (poem writing part 1) Lesson 6 - Poem writing part 2 Lesson 7 - Writing in the style of the book Lesson 8 - Writing your review of the book (formal creative writing) All learning will be consolidated with lesson feedback reports which outline the key features of the lesson, ensuring that the knowledge gained can be reviewed and revisited at the child's pleasure. A Zoom link and welcome pack will be sent to you via email. If you don't receive this before the first class, please check your spam / junk folder. Failing that, please send us an email. I can't wait to get started, see you there!
