I think many of my students will be interested in this movie. I am not sure yet what unit I could fit it into or create around it, but I would introduce supplemental vocabulary like the words for planets, elements, and some key phrases like "save me" and "go on living" that come up throughout the film. As a writing assignment, students could write a summary or reaction in Chinese, or could create their own story with similar elements trying out some supplemental vocabulary. I would be interested to get ahold of the original story in Chinese to share excerpts along with the film. Students can identify similarities and differences in the story and the movie and can use the text to help them better articulate their thoughts on the film in Chinese.
