Task Description
Fifteen sentences need to be transformed from Direct Speech into Reported Speech, including a mixture of statements, questions and commands, in present, past and future tenses.
Students need to identify and tap on 9 objects in the freeze-framed screen at various points in the story.
This video quiz checks students' understanding of the key events of the story based on only visual cues (it's a silent film, so no listening practice is involved).
