Text: Llama Glamarama – Simon James Green and Garry Parsons lesson plan by Andrew Moffat www.no-outsiders.com |
|
Enquiry question: How do I know my difference is accepted? |
|
RSE links: Respectful
relationships - the
importance of self-respect and how this links to their own happiness. |
|
Success Criteria: I know we are all different / I know how
to make sure everyone knows they are accepted for who they are |
|
Starter: what
is self respect, and how do you achieve self respect? We always say in school it’s ok to be different
but are all differences accepted? Why do some people hide the person they are
inside? |
|
Main: Read
llama Glamarama -
What’s
different about this llama? -
Why
doesn’t he tell his friends that he loves to dance, what is he so frightened
of? -
“Being
different felt lonely, being different felt bad” – why? -
How do
you think Llama feels when he first sees the other dancing llama’s? -
Why do
you think he chooses to tell the other llamas about his difference when he
returns home? -
Why
had the other llama’s hid their differences too? -
What
do all the llama’s learn at the end of the story? |
|
Activity: Look
at the point near the end of the story
where the other three llamas describe their differences. Children think about
other animals that might live in Larry’s barn; what other differences might
animals have? E.g. perhaps a spider is actually vegetarian and sets flies
free; perhaps there is a mouse who walks on two hind legs; perhaps a cow
actually prefers to say neigh and a horse prefers to say oink. Children record
images and label differences in the barn. |
|
Plenary:
“I’m proud to be me!” why is this important? Why is this about self-respect?
How does this story help us in our class? How can we make sure everyone in
our class knows their difference is accepted? Why is this story about no outsiders? |
