Each year, the use of videos in daily lessons is becoming more and more acceptable -- no essential. This mini-unit takes that into account by comparing two trailers to Disney's Frozen. Students will first watch the official trailer and discuss the tone and mood. Next, they will watch Bobby Burn's edited version. He does a masterful job of twisting dialogue and altering color schemes to recreate a horror trailer. After this, students will compare the two. The unit plan then proceeds to Roald Dahl with use of the oompa loompa songs and a chapter from James and the Giant Peach.

In the end, I have added an activity for students to create an IMovie showing what they've learned.

HUGE DISCLAIMER: I created this unit years ago. That means it is not a ready to go unit. You will have to follow links and print pages for your classes. In the four-ish years since making this document, a few crucial pieces to the plan have disappeared off the internet. I fixed them!

For older audiences, consider comparing dramatized versions of Alice in Wonderland!
