Pause and discuss tattoos/markings – what might they represent? Why do they both have them?  (00:28)

Who are they? What is the relationship between them?  

When they walk outside – compare and contrast their appearance compared with the ‘towns folk’

Why are they staring at them?

Pause at 01:12 – hot seat children as the 2 girls, as well as one of the people staring at them. Try to get more information about who they are and see what develops from there.

Start again and see if the children can answer the little girl’s question – why don’t they like them?

Start it again and watch the older girl arrive in the seemingly deserted city – why is she riding on a horse? Does she always ride on a horse? See if children can generate questions.

Pause at 02:38 – why does she get in the car? Where do you think they are going?

Video gets a bit less useful here with the dancing bit but 03:12 onwards works well with girl returning to the end – overall idea that everyone belongs somewhere.

Possible writing opportunities:

Diary entry as either girl

Alternative ending once meets girl with the tattoo in the seemingly deserted city.

Poetry inspired by opening minute – feelings of being unwanted through thoughts of the girls.

Pupils could write what happened prior to the video – have they always lived there, why are they living alone, did something happen to parents etc
