This film is a wonderful blend of poetic words and images. Ask your students to draw on their own imaginations to tell the story of these characters in their own words or with their own images. Can they alter the story by adding a different beginning or ending? This film provides an excellent opportunity to learn about poetry and nurture creativity in the classroom.
