Suckablood

Posted: October 29, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: lesson plan, Short Film | Tags: , , , , |16 Comments

On dark stormy nights, the Suckablood comes……….Just in time for Halloween, this lesson is based on a wonderfully atmospheric Gothic fairy tale about a girl whose habit of sucking her thumb angers her stepmother so much that she summons a monster to come for her. In class, our students’ challenge is to copy the creepy narrator’s telling of the tale as a poem.

    I taught this lesson and my students were very enthusistic about it. They created very interesting and frightening endings . It was very funny.
