|Whole class: The Key Question for this session is: What are the themes and/or structures in the ‘1001 Arabian Nights’ stories? Tell the chn that they are|
|going to continue reading/listening to more of the ‘Arabian Nights’ stories in this session, again with the focus of identifying narrative themes and |
|structures. Today, they will explore a set of stories featuring a popular narrative hero: ‘Sinbad the Sailor’. Some of the chn may already know about |
|Sinbad; ask them to share what they remember about this character and the adventures he has. Revisit the list of themes and structural devices created |
|during the previous session. The books listed above can be used, while many alternative versions are available: all chn will enjoy Marcia Williams’ |
|excellent cartoon stories featuring Sinbad’s adventures, while less proficient readers will not be put off by text-heavy narrative. Audio and on-screen |
|versions for shared reading are also available from ‘Storynory’ (see weblink). |
