★★ Check out the full preview! ★★

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

PART 1 – Comprehension questions. I have made two separate sets for differentiation. Includes an answer key.

• 20 questions in chronological order, answering in sentences.

• 20 multiple choice questions with 3 possible answers.

The multiple choice questions have also worked well with my ESL students.

PART 2 – Creativity

• Students create a day menu for visitors coming to the island. To include drawings too.

• Students pretend they are a newspaper journalist on the island and write an article about the raining food phenomenon.

• Students to imagine they are evacuating from the island the next day and have to write a diary entry of their experiences so far.

PART 3 – Just for fun

• Word search with clues to answer for some of the words. Answer key included.

Based loosely on the book by Judi Barrett, this movie is about a local scientist named Flint Lockwood, who is often regarded as a failure until one day he invents a machine that can make food fall from the sky. But little does he know, things are about to take a turn for the worst.

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.
