Who is the current president of Zimbabwe? What do you know about this person?

3 Character Sketches What are character sketches? A character sketch is NOT A DRAWING! A character sketch is a written description of a character s personality and traits. Use the things a character says and the way that they behave to assist in drawing conclusions of their personality. Can you write a character sketch of all the main characters in this book?

What is a democracy? How do we know the followers of Zed have no understanding of or respect of a democracy? (3) Total: 18

4 Part two 1. Why were the local villagers upset with the refugees who worked on the tomato farm? (2) 2. Why do you think Philani helped Deo and Innocent leave the farm? (2) 3. Who lives in the bridge? What are their names, where do they come from, and what do they do? (12) 4. Why did Deo go to Alexandra and leave Innocent at the bridge? (2) 5. How did Deo know that Innocent would be at the bridge after he lost him? (1) 6. Why do you think the local people attacked refugees? How do you feel about how they handled the situation? (3) 7. Imagine you were Deo. Write a journal entry for the night spent at the church grounds before Deo found Innocent. Word count: words. (10) Total: 32 Part three 1. What kind of life has Deo been leading for the past 18 months? (3) 2. Why is Deo tempted to run away at the end of chapter 23? (2) 3. When Salie gets the team to tell their stories, how do things change? Why do you think this happens? (3) 4. What did Innocent keep in his Bix-box? Explain the significance of each (18) item. 5. When T-Jay is interviewed by CNN, how has his attitude changed towards refugees (2) 6. Keelan said to Deo, But this is yours... this is what you brought here. She was referring to the soccer ball. Explain what she means. (2) 7. Draw up an advert to create awareness and raise funds for the 2010 Street Soccer World Cup. (10) Total: 40

5 Post-reading Narration This story is written in the first person, with Deo narrating the story. 1. How does this affect the way we understand and relate to the story? (2) Themes The major theme in this novel is prejudice: How people make judgements about others without having a clear understanding of them beforehand. Prejudice against refugees is called xenophobia. 1. What prejudice does Deo meet: * at the tomato farm? * in Alexandra? * in Cape Town? (9) Happy Endings 1. Why do you think the writer chose to end the story before the final game finishes? (2)

6 What is drama? Drama refers to all kinds of plays. Plays are written to be acted on stage. So, in other words, a play is a story which is acted out. The word drama comes from the Greek word, which means action. The ancient Greeks watched plays in open-air theatres more than 2000 years ago. Women were not allowed to act in those days, so men had to wear masks for different characters. Today, these marks are the symbols of drama. The picture of the two masks shows a happy face and a sad face. They represent two main kinds of drama that people watched then: comedy and tragedy. Generally speaking, a comedy has a happy ending and a tragedy has a sad ending. Just as there are many different kinds of stories to read, there are many different kinds of plays to watch. Here are some examples: Improvisation- actors get little or no time to prepare for the play. Role Play- actors pretend to be a character and act out a scene. Mime- only facial expression and body language are used in the performance. Masked drama- the main props are masks and the actors use only their voices for expression. Puppet plays- puppets become the characters. Performance poetry- actors act out the story from a poem. Musical- actors use speaking and singing to tell a story. Pantomime- a funny play for children that is usually performed at Christmas. You are going to study a play this term called, Every dog has its day by Helen Brain and Ted Faulkner.

7 What do you think this play could be about? Prepare to read 1. Study the title Every dog has its day. a) Choose which explanation below explains what this saying means: Every dog has its day of the week. Every dog and person has a time when they can shine. Every dog has a day when they die. b) Use the title and its meaning to predict what you think this play will be about. 2. Plays are all about people and so characterisation is important. a) Look at the character list on the next page and predict who you think the main character will be. b) Make connections between the names and see if your connections are correct as you read the play. 3. Copy 7 of these diagrams below into your books. Fill them in for the following characters as you read the play. Adjectives: Character: Round Flat Proof: Proof: Proof: Protagonist Antagonist Every dog has its day By Helen Brain and Ted Faulkner
