Product description
From the author
This three-page Transformers (2007) movie guide supports intermediate to advanced ESL learners in Grades 7–12. Students record film information, collect vocabulary and meanings, describe ten characters, build a timeline, explain a favorite scene and write a review.
A final creative-writing prompt asks for three diary pages from a character’s point of view. Supply the film and additional writing paper separately. Model a response or pre-teach vocabulary when learners need support.
Created by Learning with Alan.
