Engaging 12-page movie guide for "Curious George (2006)" with 3 sets of differentiated comprehension questions with answers, creative drawing, emotional writing, and word search.

★ Full preview available! ★

This guide may also work well as a sub plan for your substitute teacher.

PART 1 – Comprehension questions. I have made 3 sets of questions for differentiation. Answers are included.

• 20 multiple choice questions with 3 possible answers in chronological order.
• 20 questions requiring answers in full sentence.
• 30 questions for the higher grades, also requiring written answers in full sentence form.

After the movie I like to go through questions not understood or answered and give clues through acting or rewording the question. The 20 and 30 question sheets have been labeled.

PART 2 – Creativity and writing

• The first task is for the students to draw a picture of Ted and George doing something together and then to answer the 4 questions.
• The second task is a word search and the 3 questions asking students to write about the times they felt happy, sad and excited during the movie.

Based on the book series by H.A. Rey and Margret Rey, the movie is about a man named Ted who works at a natural history museum that's fallen on hard times. The museum director's son wants to turn it into a parking lot, but Ted offers to bring back a mysterious idol from Africa that's guaranteed to pull in crowds. Ted accidentally brings back a lonely monkey, he names George.

How can movies help students learn English and be educational?

Movies can be used as a follow on from a novel study

- There are a huge number of movies that have been adapted from books which allow for book to movie comparisons or simply as a reward for finishing the book.

Learning from movies is motivating and enjoyable

- Sometimes students need a change in style, and movies are generally an integral part of a student's life.

Movies provides authentic and varied language

- It's always a good idea to introduce students examples of English in real situations. This includes accents different to your own.

Movies gives a visual context

- This gives the student the ability to interpret the language in full visual context. To see such visual supports as facial expressions and gestures simultaneously.

Variety and flexibility

- Movies can also act as a springboard for follow-up tasks such as discussions, debates on social issues, role plays, reconstructing a dialogue or summarizing.
