Taking Flight

For reading this week, WALT: "Think about how the character develops in different stories you will read this week. We are learning how to notice the words used to describe his/her thinking and feeling”.

My task was to watch a film called "Taking Flight" and answer the following questions.

Thinking about the character Tony, I want you to plot how Tony is feeling at different points of the video.Was there a point in the story where he was Happy? Sad? Angry? Excited? Curious? 

Beginning - upset

Middle - bored, curious 

Ending - Happy, excited


See if you can identify at least 3-4 different points of emotion that Tony expressed in the film. Give a brief explanation about each point.


For example: Upset: In the beginning of the film, Tony is dropped off at his grandad's house because his father had to go to work. He was upset because he thinks Grandad is just another ‘boring old man’. 


  1. In the beginning of the film, Tony felt upset because he didn’t want to stay at Grandpa’s, he wanted to spend more time with Dad.


  1. After a while he felt bored and then found a picture of his dad and grandad and got curious so he went to try to reach it.


  1. In the end, Tony felt happy and had lots of fun because the three of them spent time with each other and all went on an adventure together.
