Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Record basic production facts about the film in English.

  • Describe eight main characters from the film in written English.

  • Write a three-scene diary entry from a character's point of view.

Teaching tips

  • Have students fill in the director, genre, actors, and release-year blanks as a group discussion before moving on, so everyone starts from the same basic facts about the film.

  • Pair viewing the film in segments with the eight-character profile page, since students need enough time with each character to write a description.

  • Since the closing three-page character diary asks students to retell three separate scenes in detail from one of the Super Mario Bros Movie's eight named characters, assign it as a take-home writing task.

Skills covered

  • Character description — students write English descriptions of eight named characters from the film (page 2).

  • Narrative writing from perspective — students write three diary pages retelling scenes as one of the Super Mario Bros Movie's eight named characters (page 3).

  • Guided note-taking — students fill in structured blanks recording production details and (based on this vendor's matching worksheet format) new vocabulary and meanings (pages 1).
