Writing Ideas

  • Imagine you are a young snub-nosed monkey. You have been banished from your troop. Write a diary entry, describing how you attempt to be accepted by a gang of exiled monkeys.
  • Pause the main film clip at the point where the young monkey’s first attempt at joining the gang does not go well. Role-play what the different monkeys might be thinking or saying. Record your ideas using speech bubbles.
  • Imagine you are the young monkey featured in the main film clip. Write a letter to the dominant monkey of the gang, persuading him that you should be allowed to join his group.
