Comparative Texts – Making predictions

Hey there kiddos –

It’s PREDICTION MAKING TIME!!

Watch the following movie trailers:

After each trailer, discuss what you expect to find in the texts we have for study in this unit.  Obviously you will also refer back to the backgrounding activities that we have been conducting as well as class discussions we have had to date in relation to this.

NB: For The Queen look at what directorial position might be being taken by Stephen Frears.

COMPARE your predictions for The Queen with the following excerpts from the film.  Are your predictions reinforced or does this make you change your opinions?

ESSENTIAL QUESTION ACTIVITY:

Make 2 separate lists:

  1. The Queen
  2. Ransom

Compare the lists – what predictions do they have in common?  What inferences can you draw from this?

Enjoy,
