Students will first watch the official trailer and discuss the tone and mood. Next, they will watch Bobby Burn's edited version. He does a masterful job of twisting dialogue and altering color schemes to recreate a horror trailer. After this, students will compare the two. The unit plan then proceeds to Roald Dahl
