Semi-colons: leopard seal

Writing Ideas

• Focus on the section where the penguin and the leopard seal come face to face on the ice floe. Imagine that they are having a conversation. What would they say to each other? Write a short script describing the encounter.
• ‘Leopard seals are cruel predators who play with their prey.’ Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Write a short piece of argument writing, expressing your point of view. Use evidence from the film clip to back up your answer.
• What did the leopard seal do next? Carry on the scene after the cameras were switched off. Use the film clip to help you paint a picture of the frozen world and hook your reader in!
