SEQUENCE FOUR

CATCHING OUR WISDOM ON THE WIND AIMS To explore the notion of wisdom: what it is, and where and how we experience it. To act out the story as a whole class, taking on all the roles, to deepen understanding of wisdom. To think and write from the perspective of a different character in the story, to explore how stories are reimagined and retold while also remaining the same.

RESOURCES ‘Anansi and the Pot of Wisdom’ video, Story Whoosh script, story box.

STRATEGIES Improvisation, Story Whoosh, writing from a character’s perspective.

INTRODUCTION Activities will explore the story and what wisdom means to the children. They will act out their own version of the story in a Story Whoosh, and then write the story from the perspective of one of the characters in the story; the wise girl, Anansi, the tree, or the pot of wisdom.
