This document provides instructions and discussion questions for analyzing three short films: Kiwi, Reach, and Sonata. Students are asked to identify the plot elements of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement for the film Kiwi. They also analyze the narrative structure and how characters try to achieve their goals in one of the two other films. Finally, students compare the narrative structures between two of the films and discuss what they learned.
