I Lived On The Moon

A young boy dreams of going to the moon and one day that dream comes true.

This surreal animation takes you on his journey.

His journey begins when a giant plant takes him to the moon. The strange creature takes him on a journey across an alien landscape. The boy leaves the plant behind and travels across the sky on the back of a giant ray, through oceans of giant jellyfish. He encounters warriors who attack him – will he escape with his life?

Teaching Ideas

  • Write a newspaper report: Boy goes to the moon.
  • Write a narrative of this story – experiment with narrative voice (1st person, 3rd person etc).
  • Describe the different creatures he sees.
  • Write a dialogue between the boy and some of the characters.
  • Choose a planet and describe the strange creatures you find there.
