Hogarth saw the Iron Man across the crashing tide of the river.
LC: To write sentences which contain powerful verbs, generated from a word bank.
We are going to dramatise chapter 2 of the Iron Man.
Discuss - What are the main events?
Hogarth, a farmer's son, was fishing by a stream when he saw two glowing lights on a cliff. It was the Iron Man, a giant creature! Scared, he ran home to tell his dad, who believed him. The farmers found damaged tractors and strange footprints, leading back to the cliff where the Iron Man had disappeared into the sea.
The farmers decided to trap the Iron Man by digging a deep hole and covering it with branches. But days went by without any sign of him. Hogarth had a new idea to catch a fox, using a trap. When the Iron Man appeared, Hogarth tapped a nail against his knife to grab his attention, leading the Iron Man into the trap! The farmers cheered when they captured him. However, Hogarth felt guilty for tricking the Iron Man into the trap, realising he didn't want to harm him.
We are going to create a conscience alley to help us with our drama piece.
You are going to be grouped together in groups of 5 or 7. One person will have the role of being Hogarth and the rest will be the thoughts that are going through Hogarths mind.
