"Are
we there yet?" is a phrase young children often say on long car
journeys.
I
would like you to imagine a family that is going on holiday. They
are inside their car driving down the motorway. Imagine what is
happening in the car. Think about what they might be doing and
what they might be talking about.
What
I want you to do is write down part of this car journey. Instead
of writing it as a story I would like you to write it in the form
of a script. Imagine that you are writing it as part of a TV programme.
Think
about what the children might want to know about the holiday.
How might they behave on a long car journey? What are their parents
doing?
Start
off your script with..
Julie:
Are we there yet?
Dad:
[glancing backwards] No!
Julie:
When will we get there?
End
your script with.
Julie:
Are we there yet?
