Task 2. Now watch and enjoy a short video clip based on Shackleton’s 1914 expedition by Google searching National Geographic Shackleton’s Journey. The video clip lasts 2 minutes 20 seconds.
Task 3. After watching, create a narrative (or voice-over) which could accompany this clip.
You may wish to do this as:
- The Story of Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition – write a story of the expedition which can be read alongside the clip.
or
- Imagining the clip is for a film trailer, create the voice over advertising the film to be released in the cinema.
Once you have written the script, have a go at reading it over the clip – making sure it fits in the time and you get all your information across to your viewer and listener.

It’s Friday again tomorrow! Another week has flown by! Please send me the work you have produced so that I can include it on tomorrow’s Learning Review.
‘See’ you all tomorrow! Mrs Fitz x
So, can we do anything for topic, I’m a bit confused. Heidi xx
Sorry it’s ok, I hadn’t read the powerpoint , miss u all, Heidi xxx
Watching that speech gave me tingles! It’s so sad that people have to be judged by what they say, do, wear, the colour of their skin, their appearance or their choices. The people who do the judging are the ones who are being judged. Not one person should be judged but it still happens. Iona x
Not one person deserves to be judged. The people who judge, are the ones who are being judged. Whether they’re being judged for their skin colour, what they wear, do, say, the choices they make. It’s not right. Everyone should have opinions but not ones against others or even themselves. Ask yourself, am I the one judging others? If you are, then do something about it. Everyone needs to join together, come together and stand up for what is right. Stop being the selfish one, who only thinks of themselves. Stop being the one who judges everyone else. But instead, start being the one with purpose, meaning and an urge to do something about it. Be the one who puts the wrong, right.
That’s my speech. Hope you all like it. Iona x
Wow! Your speech gave me tingles Iona! I’m so glad you feel so passionate about this really important issue!
Mrs Fitz x
