Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Record a film's production details accurately: its director, its genre, its cast and its year of release
Retell three scenes from a film in the first person, writing as a chosen character rather than as a viewer
Convey a character's thoughts, emotions and experiences in continuous written English

Teaching tips

The film is not part of the download, and the four detail fields will differ depending on which adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is shown, so settle the version before the sheet is handed out
Those four fields can be filled in before the film starts, from a poster or listing, which leaves the whole viewing free for the note lists further down the page
The diary task specifies three pages and three different days or scenes, so agreeing which three scenes count avoids three near-identical entries from a class that watched in one sitting
Ruled space on page 3 is deliberately uneven - four lines, four lines, then eight - which tells students how long each response is meant to be before they start writing

Skills covered

Recording film credits - students find and write the director, genre, actors and release year in the four fields at the head of the guide.
First-person narrative writing - the closing task asks for three diary pages written as a chosen character, one scene to a page.
Perspective taking - the same task requires a character's thoughts, emotions and experiences to be conveyed rather than the student's own reaction to the film.
Writing to a set quantity - the numbered lists give exactly ten lines each and the diary asks for exactly three entries, so responses are made to a fixed count rather than open-ended.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Which details does the sheet ask students to record about the film itself?

Four, at the top of the first page and each on its own line: the film's director, its genre, its actors and its release year.

How is the closing diary task structured?

Around a single chosen character. The student picks a character from the film they connected with and writes three pages of diary, each page retelling a different day or scene from that character's point of view, with their thoughts, emotions and experiences.
