Give students a digital or print copy of the Before, During, and After Activities questions and graphic organizer.
Students will first need to visualize how they would make the film version of “Rikki Tikki Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling using the BEFORE questions.
Once completed, they will discuss their answers in small groups.
Students will then compare and contrast their imagined version with a published version of the film on the DURING chart. They should write at least three answers in each category as they watch the 1975 Chuck Jones animated version of “Rikki Tikki Tavi.”
Students will discuss the similarities and differences between the two formats in small groups.
Students will then answer AFTER viewing questions to compare the short story with the film version.
Students will discuss their answers in small groups.
