Extension activity: questions about the story
Ask students to make a list of questions they would like to ask about the story, for
example
Who
is Kaufman? Why is Kaufman reading
The Orchid Thief?
Will Susan
and Laroche fall in love? What about Kaufman and Valerie?
Write these on the
board.
Students read a summary of the story to try to find the answers to their questions.

They will probably not be able to answer all their questions. If students are
really interested in the film, you could get hold of a DVD to play in class. This
will provide plenty of useful language and opportunity for discussion on the
topic of film-making and especially screenwriting. If you decide to do this, the
original screenplay will help you to prepare lessons based on the film.
