In the first scene I chose to use a picture of an elephant and a teddy bear to represent Jack and Jill, and also to represent the first line of the rhyme- 'Jack and Jill..'. I chose to use these because they are quite fun and abstract, but they still represent what is happening.
The next scene is 'went up the hill', for this I used a picture of a finger pointing upwards and a plane. I wanted to use the pointing finger because it is really obvious that it is pointing upwards and that Jack and Jill went up a hill. I also wanted to use the plane as they also help to represent the direction of 'up'.
The next line in the rhyme is 'to fetch a pail of water'. I chose to use a picture of a fire hydrant and an exclamation mark, because I thought that they were the best images to use to help to show what is happening.
'Jack fell down' comes after this, and I had a few ideas of how to portray this line but I decided to use a picture of a ladder and a picture of a hand pointing down. I think that these two pictures make it quite obvious that Jack has fallen down.
After this, the next line is 'and broke his crown'. On the sheet we were given we had a picture of a crown and I wanted to use this and represent the line in a literal sense. I cut the crown in half to show that he had broken his crown, and I also used a picture of the teddy bear that I had used in the first scene to show that Jack had fallen down.
The last line is '..and Jill cam tumbling after', so I chose to use a picture of the elephant that I used on the first scene, and an arrow pointing down. Again I think these two picture help to make what is happening really obvious, and make it clear that Jill fell down after.
