Activity 1
Print off the scene-by-scene synopsis, cut it into strips, and see if your class can re-assemble it correctly after watching the summary videos above.

Activity 2
Divide your class into small groups, and assign each group a scene from the synopsis. The students should create a freeze-frame to represent their scene. You could get groups to guess what each others’ freeze-frames represent, or have each group present back in turn.
