Text: Narrative & Descriptive ( if you work with a film: scenes and storyboard)
About the Unit / where this Unit fits
The Unit is focused on students of 5th grade of Primary. This is a film narrative unit that can be taught at any appropriate point during the year, but I decided this unit because the students are working with narrative structures and descriptions, and is a good Unit to develop these points and introduce new ones.
The Unit is going to be developing through a video, "The Piano", which we will work over it describing and analyzing the different parts of video and the characters, in order to create a dialogue that the students are going to made up.
