Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will describe the setting, characters, and action shown in five film-adaptation scenes, using descriptive vocabulary suited to intermediate-advanced English learners.
Students will invent and describe an original Middle-earth character — a Hobbit, dwarf, Rohan knight, or Elf — including physical description and abilities.
Students will complete an eleven-item response activity and check their work against the solutions provided in the file.
Teaching tips
Introduce basic Lord of the Rings vocabulary (Hobbit, Elf, dwarf, Middle-earth) before the closing creative-writing prompt, since the file notes that outside knowledge helps but is not required.
Have students describe the picture-description scenes orally in pairs before writing, since four of the five prompts ask about multiple characters together.
Review the eleven-item response activity using the solutions the file points to, rather than grading student answers by hand.
Because the resource relies on printed scene images, project or print the pages in color so students can see the details each prompt asks them to describe.
Skills covered
Picture description — students describe setting, character appearance, and action across five separate film-adaptation scenes, with prompt wording that shifts between one character and several.
Creative character description — students invent and describe an original Middle-earth character, choosing a race and detailing appearance and abilities.
Guided response practice — students work through an eleven-item numbered activity and check their work against the file's solutions.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Does the fantasy-character prompt require students to already know The Lord of the Rings?
A little outside research can help, but the file notes it is not fully necessary — and it offers four character types (Hobbit, dwarf, Rohan knight, Elf) as a starting point.
Do the five picture-description prompts all ask the same questions?
Mostly, but the wording adapts to each scene: some ask how a single main character looks, others ask how multiple characters look, and two of the five add a prediction question about what could have been happening.
