This story is told through the use of words and pictures. Here is the movie trailer of the novel we are reading in class. Here are a few review questions you can ask yourself as we read aloud:
- This novel has almost as many pictures in it as words. How did the art affect your experience of reading the book?
- How is the book set like a movie, or how does it remind you of movies?
- What was the most surprising thing so far in the story?
- The story takes place in Paris in the 1930s. Do you think this story could have taken place somewhere else or at another time, and still have the same effect? If so where, when and why?
- How are machines and technology important in this story?
- Why was the notebook so important to Hugo?
Happy reading!
