Kidnapped!

Activities

 

Before viewing

  • Pupils discuss what sort of place they'd keep James in if they wanted him to be a prisoner.

After viewing

  • Pupils discuss what sort of secret message James might have sent out to friends. They then write their own version of this message.
  • Pupils study pictures of castles of the time. They then design and draw or paint their idea of a picture called 'The prisoner in the castle'.
  • What appropriate words can pupils think of to describe:
    a) the castle?
    b) James' feelings?
    They write these words around their picture.
  • Culross is added to pupils' maps.
