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.
