Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Record basic film information (director, genre, cast, release year) after watching the movie.
Describe named characters from the film in writing.
Compose three pages of first-person diary writing from a chosen character's point of view, retelling specific scenes with attention to that character's thoughts and emotions.
Teaching tips
Watch A Minecraft Movie as a class or assign it before distributing this guide, since the character grid and diary task both depend on students recognizing named figures like Garrett Garrison, Steve, and Malgosha.
Have students complete the film-details header and character grid first, since the culminating diary task asks them to choose a character they 'really connected with' from among those already described.
Model a short sample diary entry in a character's voice before assigning the full three-page writing task, since it asks students to sustain a first-person point of view across multiple scenes.
Use the ten-item response lists earlier in the worksheet as a discussion or vocabulary-building step before the extended writing task, since they give students practice producing shorter responses first.
Skills covered
Character analysis and description — students write descriptions of ten named characters from the film, building the character knowledge the diary task later depends on.
Point-of-view narrative writing — the culminating task asks students to write three pages of diary entries entirely in a chosen character's first-person voice.
Sequential scene retelling — each diary page must represent a different day or scene from the movie, requiring students to organize events in order.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
