Julian at the wedding – Jessica Love

 

Text: Julian at the wedding – Jessica Love

Enquiry question: what is a wedding for?

RSE links: Families and people who care for me - that marriage represents a formal and legally recognised commitment of two people to each other which is intended to be lifelong

Success Criteria: I know why people get married / I know there are different kinds of wedding / I know what a wedding is for

Starter: show this picture – what is it, what’s happening? What is being thrown over the couple? Why? Has anyone ever been to a wedding? What was it like? Who was there, what was the best bit etc 

What is a wedding for?

Main: Read “Julian at the wedding”. Stop when Marisol says, “I got dirty,” to Nan and predict how Nan is going to respond.

Questions to discuss after the story:

-          What role do you think Julian and Marisol have at the wedding?

-          What does the story say a wedding is for (a wedding is a party for love) what does this mean?

-          Who is in love in this story?

-          Why does Marisol give Julian her flowers? (because he wants to wear them)

-          Look at the things Julian and Marisol want to do in the “fairy house” how are their activities different?

-          What do you think of Julian’s idea for Marisol and her clothes?

-          Why do you think no one takes the flowers from Julian’s head or tells Marisol off for being dirty?

Activity: Under the title, “A wedding is a party for love” children daw and label who can get married in the UK today; what does UK law say about a man and a woman getting married? What does UK law say about a woman and a woman getting married? What does UK law say about a man and a man getting married?

Plenary:  Do you have to get married when you are older? Does everyone chose to get married? Why do some people choose to stay unmarried? Who gets to decide what you do when you grow up?
