Key moments

A summary consists of a series of key moments, moments which are important to the story. 

The key moments appear in a chronological order, so from start to end in the correct order in time.

Let's think of the recap we saw earlier this lesson 

Key moments

Key moments in the recap:

• Quick introduction of characters
• Maui stole the heart of Te Fiti
• Moana must find Maui to return the heart to Te Fiti
• Moana and Maui sail across the sea and battle coconut pirates, a shiny crab and a lava monster
• Moana restores the heart and the lava monster turns in a green island
• Moana returns to the island and learns her people to become voyagers

Think of your favourite film. Describe at least two key moments in English.

Look at the following text from the one minute recap and answer the following question:

Why does the speaker say:

•  learns and not learned
• save and not saved
• discovers and not discoverd

Moana learns from her grandmother, Tala, that she must find Maui and convince him to return the hart to Te Fiti to restore balance, and save her island. Moana and Maui sail across the Pacific batteling coconut pirates, a shiny giant crab named Tamatoa, and a fiery monster! Moana discovers the real power was inside her all along.
