5H Literature - Theme 2: Mental Health

Speaking Practice

Forming Groups

Are you in the right group

1. Yes!
2. Yes, but I don't know if this group is right for me.
3. I'm not sure, I just sat where someone told me to.
4. Maybe, I think so, but I'm starting to doubt that now.

The Plan

Everyone within a group will be watching a different trailer.

These trailers are from films based on books. 

In all of these books mental health is one of the main themes. 

The Purpose

For your MO you'll need to talk about themes in relation to your books. 

Today we'll practice thinking critically about these themes, forming an opinion and talking about your thoughts and observations with others.

While watching

What makes this character unique?

Mental health theme: How is mental health presented or implied in the trailer?
