5) Now we watch the film -- only trying to figure out the theme.
6) What are the possible themes? Turn and talk then cold call. Themes on the board.
7) Now we will watch again and determine the things the film did in order to develop that theme.
8) It's helpful to think of the film as having parts. How many parts are there?

Part 2: Use one or more paragraphs to explain how symbols, setting or characterization develop the character as they are at the end AFTER CHANGING/ OR how they solve the problem.
