PART 1 – Comprehension Questions in chronological order. I have made two sets for differentiation. The multiple choice questions will also work well with ESL students. Answer keys included.

• 30 questions requiring full sentence answers
• 30 multiple choice questions with 3 possible answers

PART 2 – Creativity and Writing

• Students to imagine they’ve found a magical room where their imagination can bring their toys to life and create a whole new land. They draw and name their toy, describe its personality when it’s alive, then write a short adventure with a drawing of them on their adventure.
• Students first write sentences using each of the letters from the word “Rabbit”, then write about places in the movie where they felt sad, happy and excited.

PART 3 – Word fun and word search

• There is a word bank with 12 words related to the movie to use in this part. For the first section students to unscramble the words from the word bank. Next is drawing a line through the letters spelling one of the words. Last of all is answering clues to find the words.
• A word search with 15 words to find and 1 hidden word

Based on the children's book written by Margery Williams, the movie tells the story of a little boy left with his grandmother due to his father's work. After a brief exploration of the house, young Toby finds his father's old play room and a present left by his mother, a velveteen rabbit. Full of imagination, Toby and Rabbit go on an adventure together.

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.
