Great job! It's pretty much there, just some re-working of the science practice part (with the chart). See notes below. 1. EXT. ANIMAL TOWN - DAy A pristine single snowflake flies over ANIMAL TOWN on a gentle breeze. As it floats through town, we see various town RESIDENTS opening their doors to marvel at a blanket of fresh white snow. MR. PIG shivers at the cold air and heads back indoors. MR. MOOSE take a deep breath of cold air with a warm smile as he proceeds to shovel his walkway (without a jacket!). The snowflake continues to fly through town, towards... 2. EXT. HAZEL’s HOUSE - hill and field - continuOUS As the snowflake drifts, it passes a field of snow at the bottom of a mid-sized hill where a group of children are playing <SFX: CHILDREN PLAYING>. S ally Beaver (in earmuffs and mittens) is building an elaborate Snow-Beaver with carrot sticks for teeth. The Goat Twins (wearing only scarves) are pulling each other on a toboggan. JAVIER MOOSE (in just a scarf) is having a playful snowball fight with ROLLIE ARMADILLO (in full winter gear). BODIE HIPPO (in snowsuit , helmet and goggles) is snowboarding down the hill. The snowflake drifts toward HAZEL’S HOUSE, nestled near the hillside... A t Hazel’s window, we see ELINOR through the glass, gazing longingly at all the fun outside. The snowflake lands on the window, right where Elinor’s nose is , then a light snow starts to fall . 3. INt. Hazel’s house - continuous Elinor When we first come up to the house, She's at the window already looking out at the snow. Plus Ari is already all dressed and ready to go. So she has watched many snowflakes fall - maybe instead "<Gasp!> what a pretty snowflake!" <gasp!> A snowflake! Elinor (in scarf and mittens ) hops with excitement! ELinor (CONT’D) Hurry, Hazel! There’s SNOW outside! ARI is waiting nearby (wearing mittens, boots AND HELMET ) holding a shiny NEW saucer sled. ARi Yeah, and I can’t wait to try my new super speedy saucer sled - Whoa. That’s hard to say. Super speedy saucer sled. ARI/ELINOR (laughing) Super speedy saucer sled. Super speedy saucer sled! HazeL (o.S.) Okay, I’m ready. There’s no time like snow time! HAZEL <TRUMPETS> with her trunk. ARi/Elinor Alright!/Yay ! Ari, Elinor and Hazel rush to the front door. thanks for the clarification Mik ;) HAZEL’S MOM (o.S.) Hazel, Sweetie. Aren’t you forgetting something? Just then, Hazel’s Mom enters carrying a “ trunkful ” of winter clothes ( She carries them with her trunk.) Hazel Aw Mom, it takes forever to put all those winter clothes on. Maybe be more direct " True, it takes more time, but Sweetie, the clothes will help keep you warm when it cold outside." HAZEL’S MOM True, it takes more time, but Sweetie, you know it’s cold outside. Elinor It’s okay, Hazel. We’ll wait for you. Right, Ari? Ari is gazing outside, longingly. He snaps back to attention. Ari Huh? Oh, uh... yeah. Sure we will! Hazel’s Mom Come now, Hazel. I bet if we work together we can get you ready in two shakes of a tail . Ready, set... HAzel’s Mom (CONT’D) <TRUMPET with her trunk> Ari <chuckles> enjoying the sound. suggest we remove 'ari checks his watch' otherwsie we need to use the Ari rig with his watch throughout the episode and his wing design doesnt sit a nicely as it does without the watch ArI (chuckling) I love it when they do that. series of JUMP CUTS: (MUSIC NOTE: the music starts out fast and energetic but gets slower and more tedious as Hazel gets dressed.) -- Hazel’s Mom helps Hazel put on her snow pants. -- Then her jacket. -- Ari and Elinor wait. Elinor’s leg keeps twitching. -- Hazel’s Mom helps her put on her hat. -- Then her scarf. -- Then her mittens. -- Ari and Elinor are sitting on the floor, still waiting . Ari checks his watch. -- Hazel steps into one boot. Then the other. -- Ari and Elinor are draped over the furniture. Ari is upside down. -- Finally, Hazel slides on her trunk-warmer (like a leg-warmer but for her trunk). BACK TO SCENE: Ari and Elinor have nodded off. Ari is SNORING. HAzel <A h em.> Ari and Elinor wake up to see Hazel in her WINTER GEAR. It’s bulky and stiff like an inflatable Sumo suit. HAZEL (CONT’D) Sorry I took so long. It’s my winter clothes . There’s kind of a lot of them . Elinor That’s okay, Hazel. Ari You’re all ready now! Come on! I have a need for saucer sled speed ! Ari and Elinor scamper to the door. They open the door and rush outside. 4. EXT. Hazel’s house - CONTINUOUS Elinor and Ari race outside. Elinor/ARi Yay!/Woo! But Hazel remains INSIDE, in the doorway. Elinor Hazel? What’s wrong? After line 21 - visual gag - Ari could fall to his knees <beat> then fall forward into the snow. HAzel I... I have to go to the bathroom. Elinor and Ari turn to one another - Oh no! 5. EXT. HAZEL’S HOUSE - hill and field - LATER Elinor, Hazel Ar i rush towards the hill. Ari (in HELMET) scampers up the hill with h is sled while Hazel, moving slowly and awkwardly, trails behind. Elinor tosses a handful of powdery snow into the air. ElINOR (laughs) Oh, this snow is perfect! (shares a look with Hazel) Are you thinking what I’m thinking? ElINOR/HAZEL SNOW BIRDS ! Hazel and Elinor plop down in the snow and start making Snow BIRDS . ELINOR/HAzel (CONT’D) <giggling> Both enjoy the snow as they wave their arms and legs. Elinor Ready to look at our Snow Birds, Hazel ? One, two, three! Elinor pops up to look at her snow bird . Elinor (CONT’D) Oooh. So pretty! How’s yours, Hazel? Hazel tries to sit up -- but her bulky snowsuit is too heavy. She’s like a turtle on its back. Hazel <efforts> Uh... Help? ELINOR <giggle> Hazel! <effort> Elinor grunts as she pulls Hazel up by her trunk. Hazel is forced to use her hands to push herself up. In doing so, she distorts the shape of her Snow Bird . HAZEL """Aw. My Snow Bird doesn’t look like a bird at all! <sigh> I wish my winter clothes weren’t so big and puffy."" - add <sigh> " Aw. My Snow Bird doesn’t look like a bird at all! I wish my winter clothes weren’t so big and puffy . ARI (o.S.) Look out below! Elinor and Hazel turn to the hill to see Ari zigzagging down THE HILL on his saucer SLED . Ari (CONT’D) Who-oaa! How do you steer this thing?! Ari flies by Elinor and Hazel and off screen - THUD. Are we ok to have him head first in the snow? S&P Elinor Ari! REVEAL Ari half buried in a pile of soft snow. He struggles to get out. ARI <efforts> I think I’m stuck. Elinor pulls on Ari’s leg, Hazel grabs the other one. They pull him out of the snow. ELINOR/HAzel <efforts> Elinor Are you okay? Ari jumps up and flaps his wings to shake off the snow. Ari YEAH That didn’t go exactly as planned. This sled is kind of hard to control. I need to try it again. Wanna come? I’ll race you to the top of the hill. Ari grabs his sled and races back up the hill. ELINOR Come on, Hazel. Let’s go sl ed ding! Elinor practically floats across the snow, her big rabbit feet acting like snowshoes. But one or two steps up the hill and Hazel sinks into the deep snow. Hazel Wait up, Elinor! I’m <effort> coming! <effort> Whooooaaa... Hazel takes a few slow steps then teeters, falls on her back and slides down the hill, forming a Hazel-size track in the snow. ELINOR Uh oh. She calls back to her friend downhill. ELINOR: Are you ok , Hazel? ON: Hazel sits up. Hzel looks at herself' ??? - is she looking at the snow shaped imprint of her? HAZEL: Yeah... Hazel looks at herself, then tries to get up. "after line 42 - She turns to see THE GOAT TWINS * finishing off a SNOWBEAR (with no clothes). - please instead note wearing scarves" HAZEL ( Struggling to right herself ) <effort> I wish I didn’t have to wear all these winter clothes - they’re so bulky it’s hard to move. Hazel hears some O.S. GIGGLES. She turn s to see THE GOAT TWINS finishing off a SNOW BEAR (with no clothes). HAZEL (CONT’D) Hmmm ... CUT TO: 6. EXT. HAzel’s HOuse - hill and Field - Moments later The snow bear is now wearing Hazel’s jacket, scarf, hat and mittens. Hazel There. Now he looks cozy . Suddenly a snowball splats against Hazel’s body. JAVIER Gotcha, Hazel! <giggles> JAVIER MOOSE smirks has he makes another snowball. Hazel O h yeah ? Well, now it’s my turn , Javier . Snowball fight! Hazel chases after Javier moving faster in the snow now , rolling snowballs with her hands and launching them with her trunk. With three appendages working, and no winter clothes to slow her down, she’s like a snowball - tossing machine! Javier gets hit multiple times. Javier Hey! <giggle s > Hazel bends down to pick up one more snowball, but suddenly feels a shiver. HaZEL <shivers> As Hazel rubs her hands for warmth , Elinor bounds towards her as Ari sleds by uncontrollably in the B.G . Elinor Hey Hazel! Why didn’t you come saucer sledding? Elinor approach es Hazel , curious and concerned. ELINOR (CONT’D) Hazel? Hazel is frozen still, hugging her body with her arms. Shivering. MATCH CUT TO: 7. INT. Hazel’s house - day Hazel, still shivering, under a cozy blanket HAzEL Ahh . Th-that’s b-b-better . Elinor gazes out the window. Change this line to: "You got really cold there, Hazel." Elinor maybe the second sentence should be "I'm not feeling cold" instead of "Nobody else seems cold." This is minor but we want to teach young children to use evidence from themselves rather then making assumptions for others.I think it sounds like a kinder comment too. Hmm. I wonder why you got so cold when you took off your winter stuff . Nobody else seems cold. Change to: "It's not fair. How come I have to wear big, puffy winter clothes when I go outside?" HAzel It’s so unfair. How come I have to wear big, puffy winter clothes and nobody else does? Add: "Other kids wear them too. Look at Bodie. He's wearing a full snowsuit." Elinor Some of them do. Look at Bodie . He’s wearing a full snowsuit. We see Bodie Hippo snowboarding down the hill. Change to: "And so is Rollie." Elinor (CONT’D) Same with Rollie . Bodie stops right in front of Rollie Armadillo , spraying him with snow. They both laugh, enjoying the snow. "Move the action after this line to before this line: ""Bodie stops right in front of ROLLIE ARMADILLO, spraying him with snow. They both laugh, enjoying the snow. Hazel, still in her blanket, joins Elinor by the window. Then, change this line to: ""Hmm, but Javier isn't wearing a thick jacket. And neither are Mary or Liv.""" Hazel Lemme see. Hazel, still in her blanket, joins Elinor by the window. Give this line to ELINOR, and add her signature line at the end: "Hmm… Some of our friends are wearing lots of winter clothes, and some aren't. <pause> That is SO INTERESTING!" Hazel (CONT’D) Hmm. Some of our friends are wearing lots of winter clothes, and some aren’t. Delete this line. Elinor That’s sooo interesting. HAZEL I wonder why that is? Elinor I don’t know... Let’s go back outside and find out. "Change this line to: ""Uh… I'll stay inside."" (remember, Hazel generally wants to go outside to play). After this line, add Elinor's other catchphrase: ""Hazel cozies up under her blanket. Elinor goes to the door and pauses before charging outside. ELINOR We need MORE OBSERVATIONS!""" HAZEL Outside ? No thank you . I’m staying inside until Spring. She cozies up under her blanket. 8. INT./EXT. HAZEL’S HOUSE - HILL AND FIELD - day MUSIC begins as Elinor bounces through the snowy field, SINGING... ELINOR There’s no time like snow time, when winter time is here. Sliding, gliding, snowball fun, what a time of year. She approaches her friends Bodie Hippo , Javier Moose, and The Goat Twins mid-snowball PLAY . "The froze rhyme is a bit awkward. Try this: But when the air is cold, and there’s lots of snow, Different animals seem to wear different kinds of clothes. OR shorter: But when the air is cold, and there’s lots of snow, Different animals wear, different kinds of clothes. " ELINOR (CONT’D) But when the snow has fallen, and the lake has froze, Different animals seem to wear different kinds of clothes. Elinor observes Bodie and Rollie closely... ELINOR (CONT’D) Some wear cozy snowsuits. With scarves and mitts and hats. Elinor observes the Goat Twins and Sally Beaver... ELINOR (CONT’D) Others wear their normal clothes - like goats and beavers -- ARI -- And bats! Ahhh ! Ari comes spinning through frame on his saucer sled, totally out of control. He crashes into a fluffy white pile of snow - again. Elinor helps him out. ELINOR /ARi There’s no time like snow time, when winter time is here. Saucer sliding, so much fun! What a time of y ear ! <laugher> Ari flaps his wings, sending a shower of snow cascading through the frame as we... TRANSITION TO: 9. INT./EXT. Hazel’s HOUSE - day "Lines 69-85: This section should be ordered differently. For example, it doesn't make sense why they would think this early on line 75 that fur is a clue. Their observations on paper should directly follow the observations that Elinor just made outside, and the key to making sense of the data is to look at the data from the point of view of who has fur or not. That realization should come after they lay out the table. Change scene #9 to be more like this: Elinor enters the house. HAZEL Well? Did you find anything out? ELINOR Yes and no. Some of us wear lots of winter clothes and some of us wear almost no winter clothes at all. HAZEL Let's write it down. Hazel grabs a nearby NOTEPAD and CRAYON. She creates a T CHART. At the top of the left column is an icon of a t-shirt. At the top of the right column is an icon of a bulky coat. (to be continued)" Elinor and Ari enter. HazeL Well? Did you discover anything? "HAZEL (to herself) Wearing lots of winter clothes... NOT wearing lots of winter clothes. (to Elinor) Ok, tell me what everyone is wearing. They sort the kids while observing them through the window: They draw a stick figure doodle of each kid on the right or left side of the column, depending on whether they are wearing thick jackets or not. The doodle is crude, but it's clear that the ones on the left are furry and the ones on the right are not as furry. Keep lines 78-82, except remove mentions of FUR. Here they are just observing who is wearing what. When they finish, Hazel and Elinor look at the chart and wonder what the pattern is. HMMMM......... (to be continued)" Elinor Yes and no. We observed that some of us wear lots of winter clothes and some of us wear no winter clothes at all. "At that moment, Ari comes in, covered in snow and holding his saucer. He says, Phew! This saucer sled is fun, but it's kinda hard to control! Hey, what are you guys doing? ELINOR We're trying to figure out why Hazel got so cold. HAZEL Yeah, some of us have to wear a lot of winter clothes, and some of us don't! ARI Ahh... well, you can put me in the not so many winter clothes category: I like to let my fur fly free! ELINOR But we still don't know why -- wait. Ari, you have fur. ARI You bet I do! (to be continued)" ARI Like me! I prefer to let my fur fly free! "Ari proudly offers his arm and Elinor and Hazel get up close for a SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Ari's fur. ELINOR And I have fur too! SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Elinor's fur. ELINOR And I don't have to wear that many winter clothes. Hazel catches on. HAZEL But I do, and I DON'T have fur! SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Hazel's arm. There are tiny hairs, but no fur. ELINOR That's it! (looking at the chart) Our friends that HAVE fur, like Javier and Sally, aren't wearing a lot of winter clothes. But our friends that don't have fur ARE! Like Rollie and Bodie - (to be continued)" ELINOR But we still don’t know why -- wait. Fur! Ari, you have fur. "HAZEL And me! ELINOR Having fur keeps you warm. It's like having your own built-in snowsuit! Elinor and Ari look at their fur. HAZEL We figured it out! ARI <give ari a funny line here> Continue here with line 89." ARI You bet I do! Ari proudly offers his arm and Elinor gets up close and personal for a SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Ari’s fur. ELINOR And I have fur too! SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Elinor’s fur. Elinor (CONT’D) Wait a second, maybe that’s a clue! Let’s make a chart ! Hazel I’ll get my notebook . Hazel grabs her pencil and notebook . She creates a T chart. On one side there is a column with a furry design for Fur . On the other side the furry design is crossed out for NO FUR. HAzel (CONT’D) Tell me about what everybody is wearing. As Elinor describes her friends, Hazel sketches them. Elinor Okay. Bodie is wearing a full snowsuit. Hazel finishes off a sketch of Bodie in his snowsuit in the NO FUR column . HAZEL And Bodie is a hippo. So he does not have fur. Ari looks out the window and spots Javier Moose, catching snowflakes on his tongue. Ari Javier is only wearing a scarf. And he’s a moose so... HAZEL Yes for fur. Elinor looks out the window and spots Rollie Armadillo, curling up in a ball and rolling down the hill, turning himself into a HUGE snowball. Elinor And Rollie’s wearing his snowsuit too. Ari I guess that’s how he rolls... without fur. <giggle> ELINOR So... our friends that have fur, like Javier, aren’t wearing a lot of winter clothes . But our friends that don’t have fur ARE! L ike Rollie and Bodie - Hazel And me! Look! I don’t have fur either... SCIENCE MOMENT ECU of Hazel’s arm. There are tiny hairs, but no fur. ELINOR Wait a minute - that’s it! Having fur is like having your own built-in snowsuit ! HAZEL So if you don’t have fur, you have to wear lots of winter clothes ! ELinor We figured it out! can we first have Hazel excited they figured it out - then go into this line HAzel I wish I had fur, so I didn’t have to wear all those wintery clothes. ARI Well, I wish I had a trunk, so I could do that thing that you and your Mom do. HAZEL You mean this? <TRUMPETS> ARI <laughs> Yeah. I love that. HAZEL I guess we’re all just different, and since I don’t have fur... Hazel smiles, then scampers over to the coat rack and grabs her winter gear. HAzel (CONT’D) What are we waiting for? Let’s get outside before the snow melts! Elinor/Ari Yay!/Wahoo! Hazel’s Mom enters. Hazel’s Mom Do you want a little help , Hazel? HAZEL Well, maybe just a little . ArI Hey, can you do that elephant thing again - pleeese! Hazel and her mother exchange smiles. HAZEL OK. Ready, set... HAzel/HAZEL’S MOM <TRUMPET!> Ari <chuckles> enjoying it again. 10 . Ext. hazel’s house - field and hill - Day Back outside, Ari, Elinor and Hazel are standing at the top of the hill with Ari’s saucer sled . Ari Are you sure, Elinor? I still don’t know how to steer this thing. Hazel You don’t have to. Follow me! Hazel lies down in the snow, like she did when she fell , and slides down the hill on her back. Her winter clothes keep her dry and warm as she carves a perfect bobsled path down the hill. Add qualifier: "…she struggles A LITTLE to her feet." Hazel (CONT’D) Yahooo! When Hazel gets to the bottom, she struggles to her feet. Hazel (CONT’D) <effort> Come on you guys! There’s no time like snow time! Ari and Elinor exchange a look. Then... nice touch to bringing this back ARI/ELINOR Super speedy saucer sled. Super speedy saucer sle d . Super speedy saucer sled! Ari and Elinor hop in the saucer sled and slide down in Hazel’s path. Elinor/ari Yay!/Wahoo! I love SNOW! End.

ELINOR’S TOWN EP 104 T he Science of Staying Warm By: Miklos Perlus Elinor’s Question: Why do animals have fur? Logline: Elinor wants to play outside in the snow with Hazel and Ari, but Hazel’s heavy winter clothes keep getting in the way of their fun so she’d rather not wear it at all. Curriculum Goals: SEP6 . Constructing Explanations. Look for and describe patterns and relationships in natural phenomena. LS2 . Understand that animals have different body parts that are used in different ways to meet their needs and that plants have different parts that help them survive and grow. ND1 . ( RTL Crosscutting concept ‘Patterns’) Understand that modes of life in the natural world and engineered solutions in the designed world have common patterns, and engineers often look to natural patterns for inspiration.
