Themes are an integral part of effective storytelling. Today, we reviewed themes through several short films. For those still stuck in figuring out how to find a theme, I shared the following video.
After sharing the themes they each found in the stories they have been reading at home, the students practiced applying what they had re-learned theme to the following short films:
- “Identity”(featured above): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikGVWEvUzNM
- “The Desk”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_kIyihNd-A
- “The Boss”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4AAtvaiMrc
- “The Elevator”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-TQQE1y68c
- “Too Shy”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3vzWIU-gsg
The stories we did not reach today will be used in class tomorrow.
Homework: Read for 30 minutes in preparation for our next Alternative Book Report (ABR) submissions. These ABRs will be due after the September break.
