Two groups, 'Cast' and 'Crew' will be allocated. Using the whiteboard the teacher will re-visit the topics and themes covered in this unit, and through explicit questioning and prompting, will get students to create a basic sequence of topics and themes to be covered in the documentary. The teacher will inform students that the running time of the documentary will be approximately 5 minutes. ||  Students will be placed in their allocated group. They will re-visit the topics and themes covered in this unit and develop, as a whole class, a basic sequence of the topics and themes to be covered in the documentary. Under each topic area the class will identity 2-3 key areas that will be covered. ||  Whiteboard || 40 mins

With explicit guidance from the teacher the whole class will develop a basic sequence of the topic areas and themes to be covered in the documentary. Students in the 'cast' group will develop a script for the narrative of this documentary using the class sequence to convey meaning. Students in the 'crew' group, also using the class sequence, will develop a storyboard focussing on camera angles, framing and camera movement.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Body

|||| <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The teacher will guide and direct each group in their specific group work, starting with the 'Cast' group. Before the teacher assists the 'Cast' group, they will instruct the Crew to discuss and decide upon 2 filming locations within the school and get them to use the framing tools to develop an understanding of framing while filming. The teacher will then work with the cast.

Cast: The teacher will discuss the topics and themes that will be covered in the documentary and help students select the appropriate resources to develop the script. They will stimulate discussion about the use of narration and visual representations to convey meaning. The teacher will begin the writing process, developing an introduction (for approx 10 mins). They will then allow the group to work independently in creating the rest of the script, whilst still monitoring the process.

Crew: The teacher will explicitly teach the crew how to create a storyboard. Together the teacher and students will look at a variety of images that display different types of camera angles. The teacher will get students to discuss the different angles focussing on how the different angles affect and manipulate meaning, whilst developing and using the appropriate terminology. The teacher will help develop the introduction part of the storyboard and then allow students to work independently on the rest, whilst still monitoring the process. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Cast: Using projects they have completed in this unit, and following the basic sequence of topics and themes, students in this group will construct a script of the narrative that will be used in the documentary. They will need to focus on developing effective strategies and writing techniques in order to convey the meaning of the content. The script will include both spoken narrative and visual representations.

Crew: Using a storyboard template, framing tools, images for stimulus, and the basic sequence of topics and themes, the students in this group will develop a storyboard for the filming of the documentary. They will need to decide on a filming location/s within the school, taking into consideration noise restrictions and lighting. They will then, following the sequence developed at the beginning of the lesson and using images as a stimulus, construct a basic storyboard, using a variety of camera angles and movements. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Projects Butcher's paper Storyboard template Framing tools Images || 10 mins

|||| <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> The teacher will get the two groups to present their script or storyboard. Through prompting and questioning they will get these groups to reflect upon their writing process and to present a summary of their key ideas. The script and storyboard will be developed further in the weeks drama lesson. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Each group will give a brief presentation discussing their process and a summary of their ideas.

 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Assessment: ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Within this lesson the teacher will observe:
 * Group interactions: are students communicating effectively.

* <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Talking and Listening Skills: are students able to use effective planning strategies to develop the narrative script or storyboard, identifying the main areas of information in order to convey meaning. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> || Did students enjoy the lesson? Was the lesson explained clearly? Did students understand the instructions? Were they able to work effectively in groups? Was the timing of the lesson suitable for its content? Were students able to achieve the overall goals of the lesson? or was more instruction/support needed? || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Writing: are students able to construct the narrative script or storyboard using written information and images as stimulus.
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Modifications ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">: Students will be guided through this lesson by explicit instruction and support from the teacher. If the 'Cast' group finish early they will rehearse their script. If the 'Crew' group finishes early they will practice shots, angles and camera movement using the video camera. ||
