Sinbad’s spectacular voyages

This morning in English, we continued exploring stories from the Arabian Nights and read the Voyages of Sinbad. In groups, we focused on one of his voyages, creating a succinct summary of events which we will use this week for our work on playscripts!

Class 9 – what happened in your group’s voyage? What did you like about the comic style story?

    In our group’s voyage Sinbad’s ship got eaten by a monster and he ended up marrying a young lady on an island somewhere.

    I thought the comic style worked well with the story.

    In our voyage (number 6) he got washed up on an island and made a raft to sail down a river to an island with a friendly rich king who sen him home with gifts for his king – the caliph of Basra – and the caliph was very pleased.

    in our voyage (number 2) Sinbad ended up wrapping himself in some diamond filled meat! Thankfully the well fitting comic didn’t show it very graphicly.

    I loved reading the sinbad voyages. My favourit voyage was number 1 because I’ve seen the movie of all the voyages and the origanle story and the first movie were so thriling.

  12. beatrice

    The person illustrating makes the story funny.

    I really enjoyed reading the seven voyages of Sinbad. I thought our group play was really fun. Thanks Miss Platts for teaching us fun story’s and letting us make a play about the voyages of Sinbad. I hope we can read more story’s and turn them into our own plays again. (:
