Next Week, you will be watching "Cast Away" and writing an essay explaining how the theme of the film was developed by using symbols, setting and characterization. Today, we will watch "The Present" determine how the film uses characterization to develop the theme
1) On the board: "I can explain how a film or book develops a theme"
2) To be clear: you will be explaining exactly how the film uses characterization & setting to develop the theme.
3) Review -- what is theme?
4) Now we watch the film in three parts.
5) Watch part one: on your paper (use newsprint for each table), draw a stick figure with these elements: speech, actions, thoughts, looks, setting. Working in pairs, collaborate to fill in as many elements as possible describing what the film did to characterize the boy.
6) Fun Activity: replace the kid playing the video game to him listening to sad or angry music. Each table secretly come up with a song that would fit. Write name and artist on a piece of paper. We'll now play name that tune and artist for Humex cash.
7) Repeat step 5 for parts two and three.
8) Look at the differences between the character from part one and three and use those differences to figure out the possible themes.
9) Difficult: look at what caused the transformation to make the theme more elaborate.
10) When writing, it's helpful to think of the film as having parts. How many parts are there?
11) Introduce the idea of structuring your essay as follows. We will do this with pair and share:
Part 1: Use one or more paragraphs to explain how symbols, setting or characterization develop the character as they are at the begining/ OR how they define the problem.
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.
