Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Note down who directed Luca, its genre, its actors and the year it was released, using the four labelled lines at the top of the guide.
Write an extended first-person diary entry from a chosen character's point of view, retelling a scene and capturing that character's thoughts and emotions
Select and justify a personal connection to one movie character before writing from their perspective
Teaching tips
Review the film-information fields as a class using the movie's credits, since ESL learners may not catch this information from a single viewing
Model one sample diary entry from a character's point of view before students write their own three pages, since the prompt asks them to retell three different scenes
Discuss which character students connected with as a warm-up before independent writing, since the prompt requires choosing and justifying that connection
Skills covered
Post-viewing recall — students record basic film information (director, genre, actors, release year) after watching Luca.
Perspective-taking narrative writing — students write three diary entries from a chosen character's point of view, retelling scenes and expressing that character's thoughts and emotions.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Does the diary-writing task cover the whole movie, or a smaller part of it?
A smaller part: students choose one character they connected with and write three diary entries, each representing a different day or scene rather than the full film.
