Hollywood Calling - Screenplay
Writing Skills For Key Stage 2
Hollywood Calling is a creative writing
programme that offers a clear and
straightforward structure designed to optimise
children’s learning. It is based on my
experience as a professional screenwriter, and
works particularly well for the shorter stories
children usually write.
This programme has already been run
successfully with Year 6 pupils at Blenheim
Primary School, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
“The use of popular films engaged
the children straight away. Their
interest and imagination was
captured and they were eager to
write independently. The final
results showed thoughtful creative
work.”

Hollywood Calling is based around the
essential skills required in Key Stage 2, in
particular, the ability to:
|
 |
Have an interest in words and their meanings and a
growing vocabulary |
|
Know, understand and be able to write in a range of
genres in fiction and poetry, and understand and be
familiar with some of the ways in which narratives
are structured through basic literacy ideas of
setting, character and plot |
|
Plan, draft, revise and edit their own writing |
|
Have a suitable technical vocabulary through which
to understand and discuss their reading and
writing |
|
Through reading and writing, develop their powers
of imagination, inventiveness and critical
awareness |
| A series of five, one-hour
sessions designed to work with a standard class
size (approx. 30 children), at the end of the
five sessions children will have both a
completed project and a template to use for
future projects Discover more

"Don was absolutely great on this project! It was very technical writing and a large project, but he
was very focused on the job. Don has great work ethic and completed the tasks required while at the
same time continually meeting or exceeding my expectations. He is a great writer to hire and I would
and plan to hire him again." |
