Wreck-It Ralph: Dialog Writing


This animated movie is innovative and highly creative. It is great to see  animation based on video games characters we all know - most students do!

I. Talk to a friend:

1. Do you like video games? What are your favorite ones?

2. What are the best video games villains you know? What do they do that make them such terrible villains.

3. What are the best video games heroes? Why are they so great heroes?

4. What is your favorite kind of video games?


II. Watch the segment and then complete the dialogs that are not in English.





Felix: What brings you here, neighbor?

Felix: Ralph's gone turbo*!



III. What do you think Ralph's gone turbo* mean?

IV. Role play your scene. Add an ending to your scene too.



*To go turbo, in this case, is to be discontinued, out of the market.

Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron: Dialog Writing



A. This movie is about Spirit, a wild mustang. Watch the segments and, in small groups, write down the dialog you imagine took place in the scenes. Imagine that the horses are speaking English! Use your imagination and be creative.

*Note to the teacher:

Pause the segments when the slide of a heart shows up. Have the groups write down the dialogs, following the instructions for each part as shown below, before you play the next segments, and pause again on the heart slides.

















Scene 1. Write down the dialog between Spirit and his mother.


Scene 2. Write down the dialog between Spirit and the other horses.


Scene 3. Write down the dialog between Spirit and the other horses.

Scene 4. Write down the final dialog between Spirit and his mother.

B. Now role play your dialogs, but you are people now, not horses. If possible, don't read the dialog, just act it out (if you prefer, you can be horses, not people, but the dialogs have to be in English, of course!!).

C. Extra Activity:
Write a short narrative/paragraph about the scene.



THERE IS NOT A WORKSHEET FOR THIS ACTIVITY FOR IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE TASK
