TPRS Script: Wants to Look At

Here is another simple TPRS script that I have been working with recently in all my classes. It lines up well with the "celebrity crush" part of Ben's questionnaire (opens a .pdf). The kids mostly loved the PQA and the resulting story.

The English version:

Wants to look at

• likes/loves
• wants to look at
• therefore (note: circle "because")

_ loves _. _ wants to look at _, but _ doesn't see _ in the house. Therefore, _ hurries to _.
     In the street, _ sees _. _ doesn't like _. _ doesn't want to look at _, because _ is afraid of _. Therefore _ runs away terrified.
     In/at _, _ sees _! _ loves _. Therefore, _ looks at _. But _ doesn't like _. _ doesn't want to look at _. Therefore, _ runs away.

The Latin version:

spectare vult

• amat
• spectare vult
• igitur (note: circle "quod")

_ _ amat. _ _ spectare vult, sed _ _ in villa non videt. igitur _ ad _ contendit.
     _ _ in via videt. _ _ non amat. _ _ spectare non vult, quod _ _ timet. igitur _ fugit perterritus/-a.
     _ _ in _ videt! _ _ amat. igitur _ _ spectat. sed _ _ non amat. _ _ spectare non vult. igitur _ fugit.
