Once you've watched the movie, practice these exercises to help you take what you learned from the script and make it work in your everyday life.Think about the scenes with actor Prabhu Dheva. How do his choices impact those around him? What would happen if he behaved differently? Think about some of the other characters as well. What might happen if they all took a different path?The ultimate goal of this exercise is for students to begin thinking as writers, as filmmakers, as artists and as storytellers who shape their lives and livelihoods on how they metabolize information and manage their environments. Each lesson within the curriculum is divided into three sections. The first section is an introductory vignette that serves to contextualize the script and allow students to understand the cultural history of its time period. The second section of each lesson explores a series of video clips from multiple films alongside a series of student exercises designed to replicate the various types of choices made by filmmakers. These clips and exercises are designed replicate a variety of cinematic/storytelling models, including, but not limited to, realism, melodrama, horror, science fiction and fantasy. Under each clip or exercise is a list of questions that students can use as points for class discussion or as writing prompts to aid them in their own creations. The last section of each lesson contains a series of discussion and writing prompts designed to guide students critically through the narrative and take them on a journey from script to screen. The purpose of this section is to direct students toward the idea that, while cinema is a business and while its bottom line is ticket sales, it can also be used as an agent for social change and betterment. The full curriculum includes twelve lessons: "A Lesson in Lateral Thinking" (Lesson 1) introduces the class to the idea that there are many ways to skin a cat. It also teaches students that they must learn how to think like artists if they ever hope to express themselves creatively with any degree of freedom. "A Lesson in Crossing Cultures" (Lesson 2) discusses how Jigarthanda was conceived of as a film with the intention of crossing over from one culture to another, bridging racial, caste, class and regional divides. "A Lesson in Subversive Satire" (Lesson 3) discusses satire as a tool for social change. It also provides students with basic definitions for the cinematic vocabulary that will be used throughout the rest of the curriculum. "A Lesson in Social Realism" (Lesson 4) includes video clips of realist films from India and around the world. Students are asked to identify the type of character and the emotional arc of each scene, as well as provide a written critique to either help them understand what they liked or disliked about the work. "A Lesson in Melodrama" (Lesson 5) analyzes melodramatic film scripts and provides students with exercises that allow them to reenact their own cinematic expressions of grief and tragedy. "A Lesson in Horror" (Lesson 6) takes students through a simple introduction to horror cinema and its role as a tool for social change. Students then reenact and analyze several horror films from around the world, providing them with tools for tackling those difficult stories on screen. cfa1e77820
