Abstract:

Because "The Red Balloon" is a silent film about a little boy (Pascal) and his friendship with a red balloon, students are not distracted by trying to translate spoken text. They can concentrate on what they are watching. They take notes in their home language or English--whichever is more comfortable--on what they see. These informal notes serve as scaffolding for discussion and writing.
