English year 9 - About a boy 16/17

"I think I killed a duck!"

Syftet med undervisningen

Undervisning/aktiviteter/arbetssätt utifrån det centrala innehållet

After seeing the film "About a boy" you are going to write an analysis.

The analysis is just one larger question where you need to think for yourself, explain your thoughts and give examples from the film. This will be done individually during one lesson, almost like a test, and with pen and paper.

I will be looking at both your understanding of the film and your language skills. Mind your grammar and remember to use linking words!

Assignment:

Think about how Marcus and Will change throughout the film. Will is very selfish in the beginning, and Marcus is bullied but that changes. Choose ONE of them to write about, not both. Write down your thoughts and give examples from the film that proves your point.
