To begin this term we are going to be looking at stories with flashbacks. There are lots of different stories with flash backs in them. Here is an example from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: 

Chapter 1

Read it first. 

The flashback here is used to explain action in another part of the story. In this example, it explains how Harry ended up with the Dursleys. Another example of that is Clockwork that we read last term. We had flashbacks to Prince Otto and Prince Florian to explain how Prince Florian ended up in the pub whistling his tune. 

Flashbacks are used for lots of different reasons in stories. They can be used to describe why character's act in certain ways.

Here are some flash backs from movies you may have seen:

This one from Finding Nemo, explains How Marlon becomes so nervous and worried about Nemo's safety. 

 This one from Toy Story 2 explains why Jessie doesn't want to be a child's toy anymore.

Your task today is to write a few sentences about why flashbacks are used in stories. 

Then I would like you to think of a film or book where there has been a flashback. Write a short paragraph to explain what the story is, what happens in the flashback and how the flashback adds more to the story. Does it add to the action? Does it explain something? 

Geography 

Check back later this afternoon for some work on rivers. I will update the blog soon!! 

Have a great morning, 

Mr Hayden
