Speaker 1 (1)
Hello, Helen. Sorry I'm late.
Speaker 2 (2)
Hi, Jeremy. No problem. Well, we'd better work out where we are on our project, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (3)
Yeah. I've looked at the drawings you've done for my story, The Forest, and I think they're brilliant.
Speaker 1 (4)
They really create the atmosphere I had in mind when I was writing it.
Speaker 2 (5)
I'm glad you like them.
Speaker 1 (6)
There are just a few suggestions I'd like to make.
Speaker 2 (7)
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (8)
Now I'm not sure about the drawing of the cave.
Speaker 1 (9)
It's got trees all around it, which is great.
Speaker 1 (10)
But the drawing's a bit too static, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (11)
I think it needs some action.
Speaker 2 (12)
Yes. There's nothing happening.
Speaker 2 (13)
Perhaps I should add the boy, Malcolm, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (14)
He would be walking up to it.
Speaker 1 (15)
Yes. Let's have Malcolm in the drawing.
Speaker 1 (16)
And what about putting in a tiger, the one that he makes friends with, a bit later?
Speaker 1 (17)
Maybe it could be sitting under a tree, washing itself.
Speaker 2 (18)
And the tiger stops in the middle of what it's doing when it sees Malcolm walking past.
Speaker 1 (19)
That's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (20)
Okay. I'll have a go at that.
Speaker 1 (21)
Then there's the drawing of the crowd of men and women dancing.
Speaker 1 (22)
They're just outside the forest, and there's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (23)
That's right. You wanted them to be watching a carnival procession, but I thought it would be too crowded.
Speaker 2 (24)
Do you think it works like this?
Speaker 1 (25)
Yes. I like what you've done.
Speaker 1 (26)
The only thing is, could you add Malcolm to it without changing what's already there?
Speaker 2 (27)
What about having him sitting on the tree trunk on the right of the picture?
Speaker 1 (28)
Yes. That would be fine.
Speaker 2 (29)
And do you want him watching the other people?
Speaker 1 (30)
No. He's been left out of all the fun, so I'd like him to be crying.
Speaker 1 (31)
That'll contrast nicely with the next picture where he's laughing at the clowns in the carnival.
Speaker 2 (32)
Right. I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (33)
And then the drawing of the people ice skating in the forest.
Speaker 2 (34)
I wasn't too happy with that one because they're supposed to be skating on grass, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (35)
That's right. And it's frozen over.
Speaker 1 (36)
At the moment, it doesn't look quite right.
Speaker 2 (37)
I see what you mean. I'll have another go at that.
Speaker 1 (38)
And I like the wool hats they're wearing. Maybe you could give each of them a scarf as well?
Speaker 2 (39)
Yeah. That's easy enough. They can be streaming out behind the people to suggest they're skating really fast.
Speaker 1 (40)
Great. Well, that's all on the drawings.
Speaker 2 (41)
Right. So you finish writing your story, and I just need to finish illustrating it, and my story and your drawings are done.
Speaker 2 (42)
So the next thing is to decide what exactly we need to write about in the report that goes with the stories, and how we're going to divide the work.
Speaker 1 (43)
Right, Helen.
Speaker 2 (44)
What do you think about including a section on how we planned the project as a whole, Jeremy?
Speaker 2 (45)
That's probably quite important.
Speaker 1 (46)
Yeah. Well, you've had most of the good ideas so far.
Speaker 1 (47)
How do you feel about drafting something?
Speaker 1 (48)
Then we can go through it together and discuss it.
Speaker 2 (49)
Okay. That seems reasonable. And I could include something on how we came up with the ideas for our two stories, couldn't I?
Speaker 1 (50)
Well, I've started writing something about that.
Speaker 1 (51)
So why don't you do the same and we can include the two things?
Speaker 2 (52)
Right. So what about our interpretation of the stories?
Speaker 2 (53)
Do we need to write about what we think they show, like the value of helping other people or that sort of thing?
Speaker 1 (54)
That's gonna come up later, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (55)
Mhmm.
Speaker 1 (56)
I think everyone in the class is going to read each other's stories and come up with their own interpretations, which we're going to discuss.
Speaker 2 (57)
Oh, I missed that. So it isn't going to be part of the report at all?
Speaker 1 (58)
No. But we need to write about the illustrations because they're an essential element of children's experience of reading the stories.
Speaker 1 (59)
It's probably easiest for you to write that section as you know more about drawing than I do.
Speaker 2 (60)
Maybe, but I find it quite hard to write about. I'd be happier if you did it.
Speaker 1 (61)
Okay. So...
