ELA 20 The Emperor’s Club – movie watching
Welcome back from the break, 11s! I hope you had a great time with your family and friends the last two weeks!
In our ELA 20, we’ve been recently studying literature that focused on “The Influence of Others on Children”; the short stories “The Rink”, “Penny in the Dust”, “The Broken Globe” and the essay “Remember Mum When I Mocked You” all followed this theme of literature. The following movie will continue with that.
Before Watching:
As a class, see if you can come up with the common qualities each of these literature pieces have. What messages, characteristics, character types, relationships etc do they all have in common? Make as comprehensive a list as you can – you can write it out on the whiteboard in the classroom.
During Watching:
Once you’ve developed this Similarities List, you can start watching the video. As you watch, though, you each have to individually on a sheet of paper or your tablets keep adding to your own list of qualities from the movie that are Similar to your other list and qualities that are Different. For this you’d want to use a T-Chart.

The movie will take several classes, so keep track of the time when you left off.
