★★ Check out the full preview! ★★

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

Part 1 – Here we have 20 comprehension questions in chronological order. This section also includes drawing the pay it forward chart and explaining how it works.

Part 2 – Consists of 2 tasks.

• The first task is asking the students to imagine they’ve been asked to pay it forward to three people and write what they would do for them.
• The second one is asking the students to think of something they want to change in our world, and then write what it is they want changed, why they want it to change and how they think it could be changed.

Based on the novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde, this movie is about a young boy who is given a social studies assignment to make the world a better place. It goes further than he expected.

How can movies help students learn English?

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 summarising.
