Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
Next week you are beginning your Spy unit.
We are going to write suspense scenes set in your secret spy base. Learn more about suspense here.
Novelists often use models to help them 'picture' a location in their imagination (a bit like playing in a doll house!); I would like you to design and build a secret hq for a bad guy.
Build a model of a secret hq. Here are some of the things you could include:
* Banks of computer screens
* A giant map of the world
* Secret doors or compartments
* Torture chamber (yuck!)
* Sharks!
* Henchmen/goons
* Evil pets
* Rockets
* Dwarf servant
* Desk
* Armchair with buttons
How you build the model is up to you! Here are some of the materials you might choose to use:
* Cardboard boxes painted over
* Sticky-back plastic
* Wood
* Paper mashed and glued
* Washing up bottles
* Model Paint
This video will give you some ideas (don't make Tracy Island, though! Just use the same techniques!)
Hint: Design the hq on paper before you start to construct it!
Be as imaginative as you can! Bring your model into class next Thursday! We are going to base a series of stories in this location, so do a great job! There will be a small prize for the best model!
We'll photograph the models and stick them on the pupil wiki for the world to enjoy, and then write scenes and stories set in this location!
Due: Try to bring in next Wednesday, but if you need until a week on Monday that will be fine.
Here is one of the bases from last year.
