Catchit - THE LITERACY SHED

1. Copy and paste the link into your search bar and watch the cartoon.

2. For each scene summarize what you can see 

Scene One:   At home	I can see a small space and dim light. It reminds me of the burrows I have seen on tv that animals dig out as their home. I can see they are all huddled together so there is not a lot of room. The inside of the burrow is brown so it is dirt that has been dug under the ground.
Scene Two:   First activity of the day	I can see their small snouts poking out of the burrow. They check for predators before running as a pack to get their favorite flower or fruit. They run together, to protect one another.
Scene Three:   A feared enemy	Their enemy arrives. A vulture, bold and smart, very cunning. I’ve seen them in many movies. They are scavengers and always look for food.
Scene Four: Enemies revenge	I can see that the landscape is a desert. There is no colour except for the single flower. The flower/fruit seems like the thing everyone cares about, the main point of focus. The vulture takes the flower/fruit and flies off with it.
Scene Five: The Rescue	I can see the meerkats doing different acrobatics and things to grab the precious flower. In the end they get it, in a very cartoonish fashion. It seems to be the only life is them and the flower/fruit.
Scene Six: Sport nirvana	I can see that they are playing Ruby! I think they came up with rugby, and it was going great until they squash the beautiful flower/fruit.
Scene Seven: The End	It is squashed. They need to eat it to survive I'm guessing. They all will probably die.

Summary: Firstly the meerkats got up and enjoyed their amazing fruit but a vulture arrived. Next it took the fruit and the meerkats went on a chase to get it. They finally got it but tried to play rugby with it and accidentally squashed it.

Beginning	My fake heart beats in my chest. Even though I’m scared, my robot heart is programmed to stay at a steady heartbeat, and to do anything to find a plant, to save us from what we have done. I search, and have been my whole life. I see a peek of green. I see it. What I was made for. I will do anything for this and the humans. And not just because I'm programmed to.
Middle	I climb up the mountain, the one to place the tree. It has wilted leaves and needs somewhere to grow and flourish. I keep climbing, tired and covered in dirt. My arms give up and I fall. But I won’t give. I climb again. If I fall again, I will die. I make it. I fall to the ground and drop the plant, as softly as I can.
End	My software stops. Years pass. Then… A tree. One tree that can give loads of seeds. The humans come back and turn me back on, telling what has happened. My job is far from done. I will help them renew the world. And when I have, my job will be done.

Summary in less than 60 words. 

First I searched and finally found the tree. Next I climbed out the mountain, dropped the plant and my software stopped. Finally the tree grew and the humans can renew the Earth.
