This is a lovely little film from the makers of the Spanish lottery advert 'Loteria de Navidad' which can also be seen on this website.  It would be a great little discussion piece to share with children.  All the way through the film we think that he is saving up for a motorbike but at the end he realises just being out in nature with his best friend is enough. 

Teaching Ideas:

• Retell the story in your own words as a 3rd person narrative. 
• Retell the story in the 1st person either as Jack or his dog.
• Describe the city and the countryside using specific language to create a mood/atmosphere. 
• Write a dual narrative both through  the eyes of Jack and his dog. 
• Write dialogue between the pair and focus on the differences between speech and thought.
• Create an advert for your own pet food using a range of persuasive devices.
