In this fun & dynamic activity, students work together in small groups to choose film of their choice and then re-do it in a different genre (i.e. Toy Story as a horror film). This product includes a checklist style handout for students as well as a graphic organizer to help keep students on-task while writing their dialogue. The final part of this activity involves students performing their chosen scene in class and/or video taping it for homework.
When introducing the activity, I recommend showing your class the video clip "Shrek But in 7 Different Genres " on YouTube or one of the many other great edits done by the Youtuber ‘Editing is Everything’. As you watch the video clip, you can review film genre vocabulary. In the past, I have found success by having the students work in groups of three with one 55-minute class period to choose a film and write a dialogue and then a second 55-minute period to act out the scenes in front of their classmates (25 students), but you can easily modify the activity to adjust for different class sizes or time constraints!
