As "Edutopia" mentions in a relative article, watching a film in class can go from a passive experience to an active, curious exploration of big life themes and various academic disciplines.
In Drama class, watching a movie from the prospective of a director, a playwright, a cameraman etc. is essential.
In this way, students comprehend the making of a story, the character development and the inside approach of a movie.
During the following month Grade 5 and 6 will spent some time during the Drama class watching and discussing the movie: "Like Stars On Earth" an Oscar awarded film (India, 2008) a trailer can be found here below:
Some of the subjects we are going to discuss during the chapter:
- What is the setting of the movie?
- What is the main plot?
- Who are the protagonists? (Character development)
- Who are the antagonists? Are they characters or events?
- How the costumes affect the emotions of the audience?
- If you were directing, would you approach the story differently? How?
- Observe how the characters respond to emotions, even without lines.
- Body language and acting.
