Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Record basic film information (director, genre, actors, release year) for Paddington in Peru.
Describe each of the ten named Paddington in Peru characters in the student's own words.
Write a three-part diary entry as one of the ten named Paddington in Peru characters, retelling three scenes and capturing that character's thoughts and emotions.

Teaching tips

Preview the Paddington in Peru worksheet's blank sections with students first — beyond the film-info fields and the ten character names, the pages are open-response, so a quick walkthrough helps students know what to fill in as they watch.
The character list (10 names, including Paddington, Henry Brown, and Mary Brown) can double as a pre-viewing character-name preview for students unfamiliar with the film.
Have students complete the film-info and character-description sections first, then assign the three-page Paddington in Peru diary extension separately — it's the longest written response on the worksheet.

Skills covered

Film-information recall — students record Paddington in Peru's director, genre, actors, and release year.
Character description — students write a description for each of the ten named Paddington in Peru characters.
Perspective-taking narrative writing — the diary extension has students retell Paddington in Peru scenes in first person, chosen from the film's ten named characters.
