★★ Check out the full preview! ★★
PART 1 – Comprehension questions in chronological order. I have made three sets for differentiation. The multiple choice questions will also work well with ESL/ELL students. Answer keys included.
• 35 questions requiring full sentence answers.
• 25 questions requiring full sentence answers (10 removed from the 35 question set)
• 25 multiple choice questions with 3 possible answers
PART 2 – Creativity and writing
• In the first section students to imagine they are an elf working for Nikolas and to design a new toy that kids can play with outside. They then draw and label the design and write the instructions on how it works or how to use it.
• In the second section 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 – Storyboard and synopsis
• 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.
Based on the 2015 book of the same name by Matt Haig, the movie follows young Nikolas as he sets out on an extraordinary adventure in search of his father who is on a quest to discover the fabled village of the elves, Elfhelm.
Thank you, and enjoy!
