13.
Identify the three films
that you would take to a
deserted island….

14.
Part B: Why do you think you connected
with these stories? Come up with at
least one reason for each.
Part C: What, if anything, do these three
films have in common? How are they
different?

15.
NEXT:
Return to your 3 favorite films and try
reframing each of them in terms of a
"what if" statement.
Share these with someone (you have not
talked with today) and see if they can
guess what movie it is from!
