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

Part 1 - These are the comprehension questions for the movie. I have made three sets of questions, and labelled them (Includes the answers for all three sets of questions)

• 2 pages of 50 questions requiring answers in sentences
• 1 page of 25 questions requiring answers in sentences (25 questions removed from the 50 question sheet)
• 2 pages of 25 multiple choice questions

Part 2 – Storyboard and synopsis

• Students to draw a 9 scene storyboard of what they believe to be the most important parts in the movie. To include a brief description for each scene. Remind students they can look at the movie questions to help with the sequences.
• Using their storyboards as guides, students to write a synopsis of the movie.

Part 3 – Creativity (Students imagine what it might have been like for a member of the governor’s party that landed in the New World)

• One page for the students to draw a map of an island they landed on in the New World. They have to include a key of the important places they drew on the map.
• One page for the student to give a more detailed description of at least 5 places mentioned in their map key.

Part 4 – Just for fun

• 1 page with a Pocahontas word search (includes answers)

This movie is about Pocahontas, a film inspired by the known history and folklore surrounding Pocahontas and her encounter with the English, especially a man named John Smith.

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.
