Reading

Here’s today’s chapter from Pax:

Daily Video

Here’s today’s animation:

 

and some questions to get you thinking:

1.) At the start of the video, what was the old man trying to do?
2.) When the man went to put the box outside, what was he worried about?
3.) What does the man do to try and get the mouse to eat the crumbs?
4.) What does the mouse do when the man goes to stroke him?
5.) At the end, what does the man do to make the mouse get closer to him?

Writing

Today’s writing task is to write 1 – 2 paragraphs predicting what would happen next in today’s daily video. Try to think carefully about what has happened in the video and what that makes you think could happen next.

 

You could either write this as a prediction (e.g. I think that….. because….) or you could write as short descriptive piece of writing (e.g. Slowly, the mouse crept further up the man’s shirt…)

 

 

Music

Your music task also relates to today’s daily video (so, you may want to re-watch it – again).

 

Animations and films use music to create a particular atmosphere or mood. In this clip, the music changes several times. Your task is to choose 4 different points in the clip, write what atmosphere is created and a description of how the music creates this atmosphere.

e.g. When the mouse is about to get trapped in the box, there is a tense atmosphere. The music helps create this by slowing down and increasing the length of the notes.
