Our goal this week, in Slice of Heaven (Humanities), was to learn about the protagonist/antagonists, characters, and themes in the film BOY by Taika Watiti. Also, we wanted to learn about the view points of the director and main character in interviews to know their motivation for acting and directing the film.
We identified the traits of the characters in the film, what things children expect from their parents and what their parents expect from their children. We also did tasks about how Rocky (Boy’s brother), and Boy uses imagination to help with their loss.
I was kind of sick on the day that we gathered into groups of 3 to discuss about how the expectations of different groups were linked together, so I felt kind of tired. I just basically ignored it. Ms Quinn supported everyone by giving us ideas and suggestions.
Next time that we have a group discussion activity, I am looking forward to (hopefully!) not being sick and able to participate in everything fully.
