This unit is based on the story of loneliness and friendship – ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers. The children begin by studying the film based on the book and the two main characters – the boy and the penguin. They then go on to compare the book and film. They explore how changing the penguin character for a different animal would change the setting. Finally, using the structure of the original story, they write their own Lost and Found stories.
