00:00:08,335 --> 00:00:09,210
-: Hello!

3
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:10,870
I'm Gillian Jorgensen.

4
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:14,150
I'm the education director at Book-It Repertory Theatre.

5
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:16,634
-: My name is Nora, I'm in sixth grade.

6
00:00:16,634 --> 00:00:19,023
-: My name Ruchi, I'm in second grade.

7
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:23,480
-: Today we are going to do a lesson adventure

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,340
called When it Rains in the Middle of the Ocean.

9
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:31,187
This adventure was inspired by a song that is also called,

10
00:00:31,187 --> 00:00:33,700
"When It Rains in the Middle of the Ocean"

11
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,215
and it's by a local band

12
00:00:35,215 --> 00:00:37,807
that's called "Awesome."

13
00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:40,790
For this adventure, you don't really need

14
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:42,320
any materials at all.

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,450
Mostly you need your imagination

16
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:47,470
and you just need to decide somewhere in your house

17
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:50,370
or outside that you'll use for the ocean

18
00:00:50,370 --> 00:00:53,490
and that you'll use something for a little boat

19
00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:55,130
or a raft.

20
00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:57,600
Like, hey Nora, what do you think we could use for

21
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,950
a boat or a raft.

22
00:00:58,950 --> 00:01:01,150
-: You could do the traditional take some stuff

23
00:01:01,150 --> 00:01:03,430
that you have in your house and make it a boat.

24
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:05,100
-: Yeah, yeah! Just something in your house.

25
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:06,250
-: A garbage boat maybe.

26
00:01:07,130 --> 00:01:08,636
-: Maybe not a garbage boat, but uh...

27
00:01:08,636 --> 00:01:10,520
-: A cardboard box!

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,500
-: Okay... oh yeah!

29
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:13,139
Like a cardboard box, maybe you've got...

30
00:01:13,139 --> 00:01:14,910
-: A big one, you can sit in it

31
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:19,660
and grab some sticks and go nah, nah, nah...

32
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:22,150
-: Yeah, you could totally do that!

33
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:23,490
You really, really can.

34
00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:24,640
It can be anything at all

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,720
in your house.

36
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,460
You probably want to have an agreement

37
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:28,293
with your family

38
00:01:28,293 --> 00:01:30,950
that it's okay to use that thing as a boat.

39
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:34,880
Could be a bean bag or some stairs around your house.

40
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,210
You could even be outside

41
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:40,312
or on a log or just in the middle of the living room.

42
00:01:40,312 --> 00:01:42,199
-: I like the log idea.

43
00:01:42,199 --> 00:01:43,640
-: Okay!

44
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920
We're gonna go set up our boat

45
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,010
and our ocean.

46
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:51,370
Here we are in our boat.

47
00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:53,820
We chose our bean bag

48
00:01:53,820 --> 00:01:57,680
and we put it right in the middle of our blue rug

49
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,510
to be a little boat on the ocean

50
00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:04,683
with the family all together.

51
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Once upon a time, Nora and Ruchi woke up

52
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,963
from a dream and found it was real.

53
00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:22,950
First, we look across and imagine the ocean.

54
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,873
-: Yawn.

55
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:28,620
-: Imagine the water and we imagine...

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,130
What time of day?

57
00:02:31,130 --> 00:02:32,274
-: Twilight.

58
00:02:32,274 --> 00:02:33,480
-: Twilight!

59
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,810
Not morning, not dawn, not the middle of the night

60
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:41,800
but twilight as the sun is just about to go down.

61
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,170
Look across the water

62
00:02:44,947 --> 00:02:47,680
and see the color of the sky

63
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,590
and imagine everything there

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,483
everything, everything gentle and still.

65
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:00,120
Mmm.

66
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,890
Nora, what do you see across the sea?

67
00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:06,290
-: Whales and dolphins.

68
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:08,250
-: I see them too!

69
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,150
Ruchi, what do you see across the sea?

70
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:13,010
-: I see wide open sky

71
00:03:13,010 --> 00:03:15,480
and wide open dark, dark water.

72
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,810
-: Wide open sky and dark, dark water.

73
00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:20,730
I see it too!

74
00:03:20,730 --> 00:03:23,133
What do you imagine across the sea?

75
00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:26,400
What does the water feel like?

76
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,250
Nora, put your -

77
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:30,020
Nora and Ruchi, put your hands in the water.

78
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:32,110
What's the temperature of the water, Ruchi?

79
00:03:32,110 --> 00:03:33,910
-: It's pretty cold,

80
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:36,560
but not so cold

81
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,960
like ice cold.

82
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Like cold that you can put your hand in

83
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,190
and it feels good on a hot day.

84
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:47,300
-: Mm. Nora, what does it feel like to you?

85
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,502
-: Cold, but nicely cold - oh a fish!

86
00:03:50,502 --> 00:03:52,189
-: Hey, I got one too!

87
00:03:52,189 --> 00:03:56,390
-: Ah, what do you imagine the water feels like?

88
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:57,403
Snuggle in.

89
00:03:58,750 --> 00:04:03,750
As we snuggled in, we noticed the weather started to change.

90
00:04:04,891 --> 00:04:07,550
Clouds start to form.

91
00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:08,383
-: Wait

92
00:04:08,383 --> 00:04:11,338
-: And little rain drops started to fall.

93
00:04:11,338 --> 00:04:15,053
-: Is that cloud, wait is it just me?

94
00:04:16,530 --> 00:04:20,723
Or does that cloud look like it has sparkles in it?

95
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,263
-: Oh, Ruchi.

96
00:04:26,258 --> 00:04:30,198
♪ When it rains in the middle of the ocean ♪

97
00:04:30,198 --> 00:04:34,729

Drop by drop they fell from the sparkling cloud

Drop by drop into the ocean

101
00:04:47,850 --> 00:04:50,720
and as each drop fell

102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,488
it turned into a fish!

103
00:04:52,488 --> 00:04:53,321
-: Look!

104
00:04:55,780 --> 00:05:00,780
-: And as each drop fell, another fish came.

105
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:05,500

Nora, what do you imagine your fish looks like?

109
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:19,780
-: My fish is colorful with fins like fans!

110
00:05:19,780 --> 00:05:23,470
-: Oh! Ruchi, what do you imagine your fish looks like?

111
00:05:23,470 --> 00:05:28,470
-: My fish is a clearish, sparkling, silver.

112
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:34,130
With feather-like fins that are a dark gray

113
00:05:35,050 --> 00:05:38,660
with rainbow sparkles everywhere!

114
00:05:38,660 --> 00:05:40,160
-: Oh, thank you.

115
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,430
Nora and Ruchi, their fish are kind of on their knees

116
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:45,470
because that's how much space we have here

117
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:47,430
to show you our ideas.

118
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:51,830
Your fish can be as tall or as small

119
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:53,622
as you imagine.

120
00:05:53,622 --> 00:05:57,590
The fish swam and swam and sparkled,

121
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:59,835
but back on the boat

122

You can scoop up the fish with us too.

These fish, these raindrop fish

131
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,920
can also grant one fish wish.

Whisper your wish to the raindrop fish.

133
00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:36,323
Whisper.

134
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:42,123
And once you've done that, let the fish go.

135
00:06:46,610 --> 00:06:47,500
Oh my goodness.

136
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,140
What would happen next?

137
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:50,360
Would we still sail?

138
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,300
Would our wishes come true?

139
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:54,760
Nora, what would you want to do next?

140
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,050
Would you want to act it out, write it down, or draw it?

141
00:06:58,050 --> 00:06:59,360
-: I think I would draw it.

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,193
-: You would draw?

143
00:07:00,193 --> 00:07:01,740
What kind of drawing do you think?

144
00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:03,480
-: Um, maybe picture of the fish

145
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,631
swimming deeper and deeper into the ocean.

146
00:07:05,631 --> 00:07:06,577
-: Me too, I would draw it too.

147
00:07:06,577 --> 00:07:08,600
-: You would draw it too?

148
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,750
Thank you.

149
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:10,614
I think I might,

150
00:07:10,614 --> 00:07:13,940
I think I might write it as a play.

151
00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:15,520
Maybe even a musical

152
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,854
with some gentle lullaby songs.

153
00:07:17,854 --> 00:07:20,170
What would you do?

154
00:07:20,170 --> 00:07:23,550
Write it, act it, or draw it?

155
00:07:23,550 --> 00:07:25,810
I love to explore with my imagination

156
00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:27,360
and the people in my family

157
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,890
because then our time together

158
00:07:28,890 --> 00:07:30,660
is two stories.

159
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:32,060
The story we invented

160
00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:34,810
and the story of being together.

161
00:07:34,810 --> 00:07:36,840
Today, I have extra thank yous

162
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,090
for my daughters Nora and Ruchi

163
00:07:39,090 --> 00:07:41,720
and for my husband Basil who's behind the camera.

When you make your story,

165
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,180
you can make one with your family

166
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:46,250
or your neighbors

167
00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:48,990
