The Phantom of the Opera

After students critically view The Phantom of the Opera, I have them analyze the rhetoric of the film in this essay assignment. The students have some options within the prompt, which I explain specifically.

 Here are my 75 detailed, thoughtful, higher-level thinking and analytical questions AND ANSWERS that I wrote for the 2004 film directed by Joel Schumacher.

You don't have to own the movie--Students can actually randomly view the entire movie free on YouTube (in scenes). 

This guide gets students to truly "critically" view the movie, and uncover lots of symbolism they wouldn't otherwise notice. Students do not need to have any prior knowledge of The Phantom of the Opera for this unit. 

"It was so much fun with my students. It really got them engaged in the lesson."

 Do you want it to always be The Phantom of the Opera time?  If your students have seen the movie or read the novel or have even just seen the play on stage, let me help you extend the magic of The Phantom of the Opera, without you having to suffer through Love Never Dies. :)
