Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Record the factual details of a film — director, genre, cast and release year — in English

  • Collect ten unfamiliar words from a film and write a meaning for each

  • Describe twelve named characters in a few lines apiece, using descriptive language

Teaching tips

  • The twelve character names are pre-printed, so a learner who missed part of the film still knows who to write about and can be paired with someone who saw it

  • The vocabulary log is split into two lists of ten rather than a word-and-meaning table, so agree with the class how the numbering lines up before they start writing

  • The guide contains Hoppers character names and prompts. Arrange separate access to the film and use the reflection pages after viewing

Skills covered

  • Descriptive writing about characters — twelve names are printed with four lines each, so a learner writes a short description twelve times over rather than once.

  • Vocabulary capture — a learner lists ten words met during the film and writes a meaning for each, building a personal glossary from the viewing.

  • Recording factual detail — the header block asks for director, genre, cast and release year, which requires reading credits or a listing rather than the film alone.
