"Line Count - 122 (need to cut 2 lines) Elinor P -37 Olive P -28 Ari P - 31 Tito P - 20 Sally P - 6 (can we cut one line please?)" EXT./INT. EXPLORERS’ CLUBHOUSE – DAY fun adventure Kathy. just a couple of notes Rolllie pollie is more often spelled with an ie in things that are more science oriented but roly poly is more often used with young kids. Roly Poly makes sense because it is like Holy Moly. Really nice! Thanks for the great improvements, Kathy. Just a couple of notes from us. ELINOR calls from inside the Clubhouse. ElINOR Welcome Explorers Olive, Ari, Sally, and Tito. PUSH IN Through the window. EliNOR (CONT’D) All right Explorers, it’s time for the Explorers’ pledge. ELINOR, OLIVE, ARI, SALLY and TITO start reciting their pledge with hand-gestures. Elinor, olive, ari, tito An Explorer is brave, an Explorer is kind… (We PUSH IN through the window…) An Explorer is CURIOUS, who knows what we’ll find! The kids all cheer <WHOO-HOO> then... Tito Ooooh, I can’t wait to go on an Explorer adventure - I’ll be brave and kind and... (a little hesitantly) Uuhhhm. What does curious mean? ELINOR Good question , Tito . Curious means you really want to find out about new things. Olive Yep, we explorers are verrrrrry curious, so we ask lots of questions. Tito Oooh… (he thinks) What kind of questions ? Ari Any kind of question - like the one you just asked . Tito Oh. (he thinks, then , GIGGLES ) Yay me ! Olive and Ari high-five Tito <SFX: WAY TO GO WALLA>. NOTE: The actor playing TITO has a lovely contagious laugh, feel free to weave it in at the Voice Record. ELINOR Okay, Explorers, now that we’ve said our pledge it’s time for the best part of the Club – EXPLORING!! Follow me! The kids follow Elinor out the door. EXT. EXPLORERS CLUBHOUSE – DAY Tito (excitedly) This is soo exciting!! Where are we going to explore today? ELINOR Hmm, well, that depends on what we want to see. OLIVE I’d like to see some interesting new plants. Ari I want to see cool new animals , like lizards or bugs . SallY I just want to find some sticks. (A pause as the others look at her questioning.) What can I say? I love sticks. ELINOR Well, I want to be like the GREAT explorers, exploring the sea. (THOUGHT BUBBLE: we see Elinor at the front of a ship as she looks out towards the sea ) Or a jungle (THOUGHT BUBBLE: We see her trekking through a jungle! ) Or even a new city!! THOUGHT BUBBLE: We see the silhouette of tall buildings . our visual language for the thought bubble is to be framed above their heads without seeing the characters - therefore we can play this line o.s over the image and it 'bursts' due to ari saying we cant go that far - then we track camera down to the kids for the rest of the dialogue. Ari Uhh, Elinor. I don’t think we can go THAT far. OlIVE M y Mom said we’re supposed to st ay around the woods near the Clubhouse. TITO Yeah, and I’m supposed to be home for lunch. Elinor’s THOUGHT BUBBLE bursts. ELINOR (a little disappointed) <SIGH> Y ou’re right... (brightening) But we can still explore - come on. The Explorers follow Elinor into the woods. Elinor, olive, ari, tito (sing-song) Let’s go exploring, exploring, exploring ... EXT. FOREST GLADE (NEAR THE CLUBHOUSE) – DAY CLOSE ON: Ari. Ari (sing-song) Let’s go exploring – whoops! At that moment Ari accidentally stomps on the end of a stick, which has a little Roly Poly crawling on the other end. ANGLE ON: The force of Ari’s stomp sends the Roly Poly flying through the air. ECU/SLO MO maybe we can see the little creature roll up into a ball, but the kids don’t notice yet. Now a ball, the Roly Poly gently bonks Ari on the head before rolling to the ground. ArI (CONT’D) Huh? Something hit me! Ari looks down as Olive, Tito and Sally gather around. Elinor keeps marching. Olive I saw it! I think it was that little rock. Olive points. ARI Yep that must be it. ANGLE ON: Elinor, still marching along, realizes no one is following her anymore. ELINOR Where’d everybody go? (turning) What are you all looking at? Olive A rock. ELINOR (puzzled) A rock? But Explorers, we have so much more to explore - new plants, new animals, a jungle, the sea, a new city... and sticks. ARI Yea h, but this is a REALLY COOL rock , Elinor, look. Elinor hurries back to see the rock. SCIENCE ECU – Ari has the rolled up Roly Poly in the palm of his hand. ELINOR Oooooh, you’re right, Ari. I’ve never seen a rock like this one before. (pointing to the rock) It’s tiny and round and has lots of lines on it. At that moment the Roly Poly just begins to uncurl itself. Ari Wait a minute – is this rock MOVING? WIDEN: The kids consider this exciting development. sally I thought rocks don’t move, do they? ElINOR We need MORE observations. Olive takes the magnifying glass out of her satchel and holds it up . MAGNIFYING POV: The Roly Poly is partly rolled up on its back and we can see its legs peeking out and wiggling. NOTE: Although it looks less like a rock now, I think we can keep the conceit until line 40. ElINOR (CONT’D) <GASP!> It has LEGS! Tito seems a bit nervous. TitO (nervously) A rock with legs? I’m scared. Olive You don’t have to worry, Tito. Explorers are brave, remember? Olive puts her arm around Tito. He perks up. TITO (brightening) Oh yeah. The Roly Poly uncurls completely. ELINOR You know what, this isn’t a rock at all. It looks like some kind of bug. ArI Coo ooo l! Olive leans in close to count the legs. OlIVE It has o ne, two three four five six SEVEN pairs of legs. Elinor is entranced by the Roly Poly which has now flipped over and is crawling around on Ari’s hand. elinor Wow. Look, it’s crawling. Thanks for adjusting 42/43 -- this is generally working much better! The only remaining question we have is whether it's confusing logic for the audience for Olive to be looking under "Forest Animals" in 42, only to have her explain that Roly Pollies are the same kind of animal as lobsters or crabs (which are sea animals, not forest animals). Wondering if there's a clearer way to handle this. Maybe Sara will have a suggestion? OliVE Hmmmm. Let me check my Nature Book. (she hands the magnifying glass to Elinor then takes out her Nature Book and leafs through) OK, so... Hmmm Forest Animals .... ANGLE ON: a drawing of a bunch of different animals that live under a log (who we will meet later): millipede, slug, worm, ant, spider, beetle and a Roly Poly . Olive points to it. after 'Oh! I think we found a Roly Poly!' perhaps tito can giggle and say 'roly poly..thats a funny word' OlIVE (CONT’D) To address PBS's note I would say "They are similar to lobsters and crabs but they live under logs and rocks" at the end of line 43 to really highlight the comparison. Oh! I think we found a Roly Poly! Listen to this. Roly Poly s, or Pill Bugs, actually aren’t bugs at all. They’re the same kind of animal as crabs or lobsters. ELINOR Really? That is sooo interesting. OLIVE And it says here that Roly Poly s roll up into a ball to protect themselves when they ’ re feeling nervous. All the kids <SFX: OOOOH WALLA> . Meanwhile Ari is starting to squirm. ArI (giggling) YIKES! I don’t think t he Roly Poly is nervous anymore – Now it’s just... TICKLY! ANGLE ON: The Roly Poly has crawled up Ari’s arm and is walking around on his wing (not near his face). Ari can’t help wiggle and giggle, <SFX: WIGGLE, GIGGLE WALLA> as the little creature crawls back down his arm . Ari sets it gently on the ground. ARI (CONT’D) Whew! There ya go, little Roly Poly . The Roly Poly starts trundling along with determination. TitO Where’s it going now? ELINOR Let’s find out - follow that Roly Poly ! EXT. FOREST GLADE – WIDE As they follow, Elinor has to stop and start a couple of times to match the Roly Poly ’s slower pace, causing a series of gentle pile-ups with her friends <SF: OOOF, WHOOPS, GIGGLE>. ARI The Roly Poly doesn’t go very fast. Olive That’s because it’s so small. And it seems to be checking things out . ANGLE ON: The Roly Poly has stopped and is exploring an interesting rock covered in lichen with it’s antennae. ELINOR Oooh, you’re right Olive. I think it’s exploring . Tito Just like us! OlIVE I wonder what things look like to a little Roly Poly . This part is much more clear ELINOR Let’s find out. Let’s be Roly Polie s, and observe things from the ground, just like a Roly Poly does. Elinor and the others get down low. LOW DOWN POV OF THE FOREST FLOOR: A little puddle, a patch of grass, a rock etc, look huge. Have fun designers! <SFX: WHOOOA WALLA> SALLY That puddle looks like an ocean. Tito Th e grass looks l ike a jungle from down here . ArI Wow! This rock looks just like a MOUNTAIN! Climb it, Roly Poly , all the way to the TOP! The Roly Poly keeps moving over the rock, stopping and touching things with its antennae. Olive Yep, it’s exploring for sure. You go, Roly Poly . ELINOR I know! Let’s make this Roly Poly a member of the Exploring Club. OLIVE Great idea, Elinor, only... Roly Poly s don’t talk , so it can’t say the Exploring Pledge . ELINOR Then let’s do the Explorers Pledge for him. Ready? The Explorers stand up and start the pledge. Elinor, olive, ari, tito An Explore is brave, an Explorer is kind! An Explore is curious, who knows what we’ll find ! ArI Welcome to the Club, Rol y Pol-uh-oh... ANGLE ON: The ground, no Roly Poly . OLIVE Where ’ d the Roly Poly go? The kids look around in panic for a beat, then... ElINOR There it is!! ANGLE ON: the Roly Poly is burrowing in the earth beside a good-sized partially rotten log, suddenly it disappears. Tito <gasp!> It’s gone! Olive It went under the log . Let’s go see it come out the other side. The kids gather around the far side of the log waiting for the Roly Poly to emerge. ELINOR Come on Explorer Roly Poly , we’re waiting for you so we can keep EXPLORING! A beat, then. Ari Roly Poly ....? TitO It ’s not coming out. OliVE Maybe it ’s stuck under there . Olive roll s the log over and the kids discover… EXT. LOG TOWN – DAY ANGLE ON: The kids amazed face, gob-smacked with what they see. <SFX: WOOOW!!!> https://www.dkfindout.com/us/animals-and-nature/habitats-and-ecosystems/rotting-log/ ElinoR Look at that! There are all kinds of animals under this log! ARI What ARE all those things? ELINOR We definitely need MORE observations! Elinor still has the magnifying glass in her hand and the kids crouch down low to observe: ECU/MAGNIFYING GLASS POV - The kids take time to watch the bugs and creatures moving around. Ari Whoa! There are w orms and slugs and beetles ... and more roly polies. A millipede crawls by. elinor L ook at all the legs on this one. OLIVE (checking her book) That’s a millipede. The kids <SFX: OOH and AWW> . Tito They’re all munching on that old log. It’s like their lunch room . -> yes I think kids would need to connection SaLLY And these ants are walking over a puddle on a stick . (realizing) Wondering if it would help for Sally to say, "Hey, I found sticks -- just like I wanted!" so that the connection to her earlier goal is clearer. I found STICKS ! Sally gathers up some sticks she’s found (NOT the one the ants are using) and makes the ant bridge wider to help the ants . DESIGN NOTE: The puddle the ants are crossing is VERY small - the size of a hand. OLIVE T hose little plants must look just like trees to them . ArI Maybe this is their town . Just like we live in Animal Town. ELINOR A tiny town, under the log. ARI We’ll call it Log T own! ELINOR Wow, it’s so much fun to explore. As the kids sing we examine Log Town and see the things they mention (sea, cave, forest etc.) which are really just small puddles, nooks and ferns but seen from a Roly Poly perspective. Elinor, Ari, Olive Explore, Explore, just walk out the door! The whole world is there, what are you waiting for? Explore, explore, then explore some more, You don’t know what you’ll find until you explore. ELINOR: Who knows where you’ll go, and what you will see, OLIVE: It could be a forest, a cave or the sea, ARI: You might climb a mountain, or wade through a bog ELINOR: Or you might find a town under a rock or a log. ALL: Explore, Explore, just walk out the door! The whole world is there, what are you waiting for? Explore, explore, then explore some more, You don’t know what you’ll find until you explore. END SONG - As the song ends we can see the various animals are seeking shelter under sticks and leaves, or burrowing into the ground. ArI Hey! Where are they going? Olive They’re all hiding . Look , the Roly Pol ies are all rolled up. TITO They must be nervous. ARI Of what? OLIVE Of US! We probably look huge to them , Ari. Olive crouches low. Her POV reveals this is true. ARI Oh, no! Let’s not make them nervous. ELINOR You’re r ight . Let’s put the roof back on Log Town. They start to roll the log back into place. Sally Wait! Sally uses her stick to gently move the little creatures into safe spots (small holes, under rocks, covered by a piece of wood). TitO Sweet . Now they won’t be squished by accident when we roll the log back. ELINOR That was a really nice thing to do, Sally . The kids roll the log carefully back into place. ANGLE ON: the little Roly Poly burrows happily underneath. ArI Bye, bye Roly Poly , thanks for showing us around Log T own. In ECU we can see the creatures under the log, crawling around safe and sound . EXT. FOREST GLADE (NEAR THE CLUBHOUSE) – DAY BACK ON: The kids walk back to the clubhouse after a long day of exploring. ELINOR Wow, what a great day to go exploring . when did olive get to see new plants ?- is it due to line 81 - just a different perspective ? OlIVE Had the same question as Kevin. Would be good to make this clearer. I got to see new plants. ArI I got to meet a new animal, the Roly Poly, and we got to visit a whole new town under a log. Not essential, but does it make more sense to swap 101 and 102? TitO It was a real adventure! Agree that Sally's line seems too late SALLY And I found some sticks! Sally proudly holds up some sticks. She <SFX: GIGGLES> and everyone joins her. Olive Everyone got to explore what they wanted. (realizing) Except you, Elinor. I’m sorry we didn’t explore far away places like REAL explorers. or maybe " That's OK we discovered new things near by too!" ELINOR This still feels just slightly mature for Elinor -- maybe, "That's ok, Olive. I don't think you have to go far to discover new things." That's OK, Olive. You don’t have to go far to discover new things. And w e WERE real explorers… Elinor points to Tito and to Sally. ELINOR (CONT’D) Tito, you were BRAVE when we first saw the Roly Poly . And Sally, you were KIND when you made sure our Log Town friends were safe. But most important... ArI We were ALL curious! Tito Where are we going to explore tomorrow? ArI Well, we could explore the mess in my room. W ho KNOWS what we’ ll find hiding under there. Just sayin, Everybody < SFX LAUGHS > . WIDE SHOT of them continue on their way home through the forest , singing a reprise of the song chorus ( ALT: singing the sing-song from line 21) . Elinor, Ari, Olive Explore, Explore, just walk out the door! The whole world is there, what are you waiting for? The others as <SFX: CHEER WALLA> - fade out. THE END Segment 2. 1. Ext. forest - Day Señor Tapir sits on a tree root with his guitar. Nearby, Elinor, Olive and Ari crouch low near the base of a tree to stare down a hole in the ground. The hole is big enough for Elinor to crawl down. Olive ( sticking her trunk slightly into the hole) Wow! Look at this hole. (echo voice) HELLOOOO ! Ari What do you think is down there? ElINOR Maybe somebody lives there. Señor Tapir Es posible . There’s a whole lot going on underground. This reminds me of a man named Stephen Bishop who once explored a deep cave and made some amazing discoveries. Señor Tapir starts strumming his guitar and singing. 2. Ext. Mammoth Cave, Kentucky - day The scene dissolves to the entrance of Mammoth Cave. Señor Tapir ( singing ) In the middle of Kentucky, there’s a hole in the ground Called Mammoth Cave, and it leads down To the biggest bunch of caves the world’s ever seen. Stephen Bishop (a mountain lion) enters the mouth of the cave. He has black hair and a long mustache and is wearing a chocolate-colored slouched hat, a green jacket and trousers. He holds a flickering lantern as he enters a cave room filled with stalactites and crystals on the cave walls. He then sits on the cave floor with a large sheet of paper and draws a branching map of Mammoth Cave. There once was a man who dared to explore, More of the cave than anyone before, He was the first to map the whole entire thing. Stephen Bishop crawls across a ladder over a dark chasm. He climbs down a rope to a cave floor. Stephen Bishop wanted to know, How far Mammoth Cave would go, So he went down underground, And that is when he found Surprises in the caves down below. Stephen Bishop squeezes through narrow passages, carrying a lantern with a rope coiled over his shoulder. He disappears into darkness. He explored by rope and lantern light, Through narrow spaces dark and tight, And left the world of sunlight far behind. He emerges from the darkness as his lantern light illuminates a river in a cave. He shines his light closer to the water and sees little white fish. An underwater view of the fish shows that they have no eyes. He discovered a river, and what a surprise, He found some fish that had no eyes! Splashing and swimming, completely blind! More scenes of Stephen Bishop crawling down narrow caves. Stephen Bishop wanted to know, How far Mammoth Cave would go, So he went down underground And that is when he found Surprises in the caves down below. 3. Ext. Forest - Day Señor Tapir finishes his song. Ari looks into the hole, curiously. ARI I wonder how far THIS hole goes? Hello? As Ari turns away, we hear an echo of “hello?” that startles him. He smiles and everyone laughs. THE END.

ELINOR WONDERS WHY EP 135 Follow That Roly Poly By Katherine Sandford Elinor's Question: Where can we explore without going very far? OR Where does a Rollie Pollie live? Logline: The Exploring Club wants to explore some place really cool, and they end up exploring under a log. Curriculum Goals: LS5 . Begin to understand that animals and plants depend on other living things and nonliving things in the environment to meet some of their needs (Elinor and her friends realize the Rollie Pollie and the other animals depend on the eco-system under the log to survive). ES3 . Understand that things people do to live comfortably can affect the world around them, but they can make choices that reduce their impacts on the land, water, air, and other living things: (Elinor and her friend learn that they disturbed the ecosystem under the log when they moved it) ND4. ( RTL Crosscutting concept 'Flows, Cycles, and Conservation'): Appreciate the way that elements in the natural world change, interact and are re-used, and how we can organize our designed world to better fit and care for the environment. (Elinor and her friends realize they should put the log back into place to protect t animals in Log Town) SEP5 . Using mathematics and computational thinking a. Using counting and numbers to describe and compare quantitative attributes of objects b. Sort and categorize observable phenomena based on attributes c. Use mathematical language and vocabulary to describe attributes (Elinor and her friends count and classify the bug they find). CROSS-CUTTING CONCEPT: Scale and proportion. (Elinor and her friends observe how things look from a Rollie Pollie's perspective). Mains: Elinor, Ari, Olive, Tito. Secondary: Sally Locations: Explorer's Clubhouse, Forest, under the log Props: magnifying glass, Nature Book, Rollie Pollie, Assorted worms, centipedes, ants and spiders that live under the log.
