Home is a fun animated Dreamworks movie about cartoon aliens called the Gorg and the Boov. You can assign this movie to your students as homework or you can watch it as a class for a “movie day.” The following worksheet about the movie involves some simple quote matching, basic comprehension questions, and a few questions to answer after the movie. A discussion can be had about these last questions in class.
Home is a perfect movie for a younger TEFL class or for a class that’s young at heart. However, do remind students that because the Boov are aliens, their speech is not always grammatically correct. As a bonus, you can ask students to point out some of the Boovs’ grammatical mistakes throughout the movie.
