Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Record the director, genre, actors and release year of Forrest Gump on the film-information rules that open page one.

  • Write an extended first-person narrative from a chosen character's point of view, describing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences across three different scenes.

Teaching tips

  • Have students complete the film-info header immediately after watching, while details like the genre and actors are still fresh.

  • Model the diary-writing task with one scene as a class before assigning the remaining two, since the prompt asks students to sustain a character's point of view across three separate entries.

Skills covered

  • Basic film-information recall — students record the director, genre, actors, and release year after viewing the movie.

  • Perspective-taking narrative writing — students write three diary entries in a chosen character's voice, describing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in different scenes.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource
