Different Movie Overview: A 12 year old girl, called Allie starts her first day of her new school, after she moved to a different state ( New Jersey ) with her family. Allie was born with a syndrome, where she had different facials. She had a few surgeries and was disliked by a few kids because of her syndrome. A friend of Allie called Blair, shows the students from her school that having a condition or syndrome doesn't mean they have to bully Allie. Blair does what it takes to help Allie to stand up to her bullies. At the end the students that bully Allie, finally decides to be her friend.
This week for day 3, activity 2 of week 4 for SLJ, we were asked to imagine that we had the opportunity to create a movie. We wrote a overview of our movie, which included the main characters, what it would be about, the important events that would take place and the name of the movie. The name of my movie is called Different. This task was based on Lupita Nyong'o who is a Kenyan - Mexican actress.
Have you seen the film WONDER Sakina? I really like the sound of your film and it reminded me of that one...Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie Pullman becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to discover their compassion. Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
ReplyDeleteKia ora Sakina,
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea for your movie. It has a really strong and important message. It's really sad to know your character, Allie, was being bullied. But it shows the importance of friendship, and how much impact Blair had on Allie's life. I really like it.
Would you consider creating a storyboard or images for your movie? I'd love to see what you come up with.

Kia Ora Sakina! I love your movie idea, and especially the little twist at the end...it sounds like a beautiful way to inspire and influence others on accepting people for who they are. I agree with Heather, this reminded me of "WONDER"...have you heard of it? Great blog post!
ReplyDeleteHi Sakina!
ReplyDeleteThe movie you created was amazing. I like how at the end the bullies decide to be her friend as they didnt know what it felt like to have syndrome.
