PART 3 – Character writing and newspaper report

  • Students to write about one of the characters following the question prompts as well as drawing a picture of their chosen character.

PART 4 – Just for fun (or a time filler)

  • Word search & crossword puzzle (10 questions with the answers being the words to find in the word search) in addition to 5 other words to find in the word search. Answer key included.

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.

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

Adapted from the book by Chris Van Allsburg (who also wrote Jumanji), the movie is about two brothers, Walter and Danny, who find a mysterious board game in the basement which transports their house into outer space. They try to survive the game so they can return home.
