PART 2 – Writing (younger grades)

• Favorite character writing - Students to write a little bit about their favorite character in the movie. Includes describing them, writing about their personality and what the student liked and disliked about them. Also need to draw them.

PART 3 – Word fun and word search

• There is a word bank with 15 words related to the movie to use in this part. For the first section students to unscramble the words from the word bank. Next is drawing a line through the letters spelling one of the words. Last of all is answering questions and clues to find the words.

• A word search with 15 words to find using the same word bank

PART 4 – Storyboard and Synopsis (older grades)

• Storyboard - Students to draw a 9 scene storyboard of what they believe to be the most important parts in the movie. To include a brief description for each scene. Remind students they can look at the movie questions to remind them of the sequences.

• Synopsis - Using their storyboards as guides, students to write a synopsis of the movie.

Marking idea for the comprehension questions

When the students have finished the questions, they swap their work with their friends to mark. We go through together as a class, taking it in turns to ask and answer questions. Students can also check grammar and spelling if more advanced, and then rechecked by the teacher.

*****************************************************************

Based on the novel of the same name by Katherine Applegate, the movie is about a silverback gorilla named Ivan who lives in a circus at the mall. With the help of his animal friends, Ivan tries to piece together his past and figure out how they can all live a better life.
