Description
The movie Sing provides the perfect text for character analysis. Each character experiences their own journey of self-discovery and self-actualization.
In this task, students will examine three characters in depth:
- Rosita, the pig, a housewife, who dreams of singing and of being appreciated and seen by her family.
- Johnny, the gorilla, the son of mobster, who does want to follow in his father's footsteps into a life of crime, and wants to be loved and accepted as a singer.
- Ash, the porcupine, the rebel rocker caught between her dream of writing music and her negative self-obsessed boyfriend.
For each character, there are:
- Four embedded YouTube video clips from the film.
- Four corresponding Google Slides with character analysis questions that connect to the film clips.
Culminating Task:
After analyzing the three characters from Sing, students will choose a different character from a book or short story of their choice/your choice to connect to a song.
They will analyze the character's development and personal journey by relating it to the lyrics of their chosen song.
