Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Record and use new English vocabulary encountered while watching a film.
Describe characters and arrange plot events into a chronological timeline.
Write an opinion-based movie review and a first-person narrative diary from a character's point of view.

Teaching tips

Show the film (or assign it as homework) before distributing the guide, since every section is framed as a post-viewing activity.
Have students complete the vocabulary and timeline sections in pairs immediately after viewing, while the film's language and events are still fresh.
Use the three-entry diary task as a culminating creative-writing assignment, since it asks students to sustain one character's point of view across three separate scenes.

Skills covered

Vocabulary acquisition — students log up to ten new words encountered while watching the film.
Character description — ten labeled blocks prompt students to describe each named character individually.
Sequencing and narrative structure — a ten-item timeline has students place movie scenes in chronological order.
