About this resource
This three-page printable movie guide supports intermediate ESL learners in Years 6–9. It includes film details, new words and meanings, character notes, a movie timeline, a favourite-scene response, a personal review, and a prompt for three diary entries from a character’s perspective.
Provide the film separately and additional writing paper for the diary task. Less experienced English learners may need vocabulary and sentence support.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Record basic film information (director, genre, actors, release year) in a structured format
Write descriptive notes about named characters from the film
Compose three first-person diary entries from a chosen character's point of view, covering different scenes from the movie
Teaching tips
Preview the file's layout before class to confirm what each blank list and character-note block is asking for, since this listing describes their content but not their on-page labels.
Use the character page as a mid-viewing pause activity, since all ten named characters appear across the film rather than in one scene.
Assign the diary-writing task after viewing, since it asks students to retell three specific days or scenes already covered by the film.
Skills covered
Descriptive writing — students write character-focused notes for ten named figures from the film.
Narrative perspective-taking — the diary task asks students to retell three film scenes in the first person from one character's viewpoint.
Film-detail recall — students record director, genre, actors, and release year in a structured format.
