Year 5 Reading Challenge- Autumn 2

Blackface is the story of a colonial hunter who goes in search of some exotic monkeys.  Shooting them for sport.

He is warned away by a tribal elder, who warns the ‘brave’ and arrogant explorer about an immortal monkey.  The explorer scoffs at the idea and sets off in search of his trophy.

The elder casts a spell over the intrepid explorer.

Watch the film to see what happens after the explorer finds and shoots a beautiful golden monkey….

BRONZE CHALLENGE: Summarize the story in your own words.

SILVER CHALLENGE: What is the explorers attitude towards the Natives? What effect does this have on him in the story?

GOLD CHALLENGE: Write a short story about the Legend of the Eternal Monkey – remember some of the legends we read earlier in the year and use a similar style.

Good luck!

    The explorers attitude towards the tribal elder was rude and disrespectful.I know this because he called the elder a ‘crazy old man’.The effect this has on him in the story is that the elder puts a curse on him to turn him into a golden monkey.
