Zedd – Stache
Discussion Points and Possible Writing Activities Stop at 00:07 – describe the man you see. What super sentences can the children come up with to describe the man? What can we tell by his looks? What might he be about to tell everyone? Stop at 00:09 – Who is this guy? What might he be doing? Stop at 00:13 – What is he trying to do? (Children will come up with lots of suggestions here – run with a few and develop an oral story with the class – will they predict what he is actually doing?) Stop at 00:21 – Why do the armed people want him? Are they police? Why is his location so hidden? What might all the piece of paper on the floor contain? Why is there no-one there to help him? Stop at 00:29 Are there any clues here as to what he might be trying to do in this shot? Do the children think he is a good guy or a bad guy? Stop at 00:59 What happens next? How is he feeling at this point? (Why do you think that?) Stop at 01:03 What might the blue light be? Run with childrens suggestions again running with an oral story and perhaps adding in an ending that they can think of. Referring back to the fact that some people are trying to find him urgently. Stop at 01:37 – What went wrong? Why won’t it work? What has he done wrong and what could he do to make it right again (this could lead to talk about persevering etc) – Can you think of an explanation that you could give him so he gets it right? How is he feeling at this point? What would you do at this point? Stop at 01:47 – Why is this man back again? Stop at 02:40 – What is he thinking at this point? Stop at 02:53 – What happens next? Get the children to predict an ending to the video or even act one out. What will the blue light produce? Is it a new superpower? Is it the key to everlasting energy? Let their creative minds go free! Stop at 03:14 – Now do we know why that man is on TV – What might he be saying to the public? Children could write a short speech about the blue flame/light and highlight their concerns to the public about it. Stop at 03:50 Can the children explain what is happening (as creatively as possible). Follow up with what is going to happen next? What is the blue flame going to do? Possible Tasks Can the children write a newspaper report about the event? Write a diary from the scientists point of view? Can they write an explanation of how the machine works? Write the ending to the story (stopping at 02:53) Write a script to perform as the head of security addressing the public. Write a police report about the event Write a non-chronological report about the blue light/flame. + Lots of creative thinking and discussion.
