Activity 1: Performance Supervillains are often caught doing something called a monologue. That is when one
person speaks constantly, for a period of time, about themselves or their plans.
Watch this video of Syndrome’s monologue from The Incredibles:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRlh_w6uRds
Here is the monologue written down. Practice how you would say this to your
nemesis, then record yourself. Do you sound evil enough?
“It’s finally ready. You know, I went through quite a few supers
to get it ready to fight you, but man, it wasn’t good enough.
After you trashed the last one, I had to make some major
modifications. Sure, it was difficult but you are worth it. After
all, I am your biggest fan. My name is not Buddy, and it’s not
Incrediboy either. That ship has sailed. All I wanted was to help
you, I only wanted to help and what did you say to me? “Fly
home buddy, I work alone”. I tore me apart, but I learned an
important lesson. You can’t count on anyone, especially your
heroes.
See? Now you respect me, because I’m a threat. That’s the way
it works. Turns out, there are a lot of people, whole countries,
who want respect, and they will pay through the nose for it.
How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons, and now I
have a weapon that only I can defeat, and when I unleash it, I’ll
get…
You sly dog! You got me monologuing! I can’t believe it. It’s
cool, huh? Zero point energy. I save the best inventions for
myself. Am I good enough now? Who’s super now? I’m
Syndrome, your nemesis.”

Friday 3rd July – Reading
Activity 1: Reading for pleasure Pick your favourite character from your story. Create an acrostic poem using that
character’s name to describe them. Here’s my example:
Cooler than ice in the Arctic,
Always ready for battle,
Powerful like a might oak,
Taller than massive cattle.
Any evildoers must watch out.
If this Superhero’s about, because he’s
Not afraid of even the fiercest lout.
Unusually dressed but always prepared,
Not rain, nor sleet, nor snow,
Damages this hero,
Even if he’s a bit slow.
Raring to go you’ll see him
Pounce on his enemies,
As he cries ‘Tra-la-la”,
Ne’er do wells run for the trees.
To Captain Underpants, we cheer,
Saving the day, both far and near!
