TitleRecommended Exercise: Lola Rennt
Body
Hyde's About.com site has a fantastic exercise by Pamela Reid. You show the movie over three days (one for each running), have students be responsible for one character each, and the student keeps track of what happens to the character each time.

I've used this activity for years now -- every class loves it, and they get much more out of the movie by seeing which actions lead to which consequences. We discuss at the end of each running what each student has found out, and I pass out a chart. Some kids follow extra characters because they get interested in them. I can imagine bogging it down with anything extra to "fill in." It also leads to some great discussions about what could happen in the next running, what decisions made everything work out in the end, what are the major differences, etc.
