Lilo & Stitch (2025) – ESL Movie Guide Worksheet

Students record basic film information (director, genre, cast, release year) after or while watching the movie.

Students write three first-person diary pages retelling different scenes from the movie in a chosen character's voice, capturing that character's thoughts and emotions.

Have students fill in the film-information header either during the opening credits or from a brief class discussion before the written-response sections begin.

Model the character-perspective diary task with a short example entry before students choose their own character, since the assignment asks for three distinct scenes in that character's voice.

Since the diary task asks students to capture a character's thoughts and emotions, review first-person narrative language (I felt..., I thought...) with ESL learners beforehand.

Film-information recall — students note the director, genre, cast and release year in a structured header.

First-person narrative writing — students retell three movie scenes as diary entries from a chosen character's point of view, using descriptive and emotional language.

Extended written response — students record ten new words and their meanings, then write about characters, a favorite scene and their response to the film.
