to the plot?6. In what ways does Hugo show the director’s love of

movies?

Avant et Après

• You will do a twist on a bubble map for one character from Hugo.

• You will show how one character was “before” (meaning at the beginning of the film) and how that character was “after” (meaning at the end of the film.

• So, you can create two bubble maps (remember, these are adjectives only) or modify another type of map.

• Your “guiding question” in the frame should be “avant” and “après”.

• Yes, this is reviewing your knowledge of adjectives from last year.

Character Bubble Maps

• You will be creating three bubble maps.• One must be of Hugo.• In your frame, you must include:

a. [Character’s name] is _____.b. P.O.V.: moi (me); lui-même/elle-même; other character
