A complete Italian lesson plan for Chiavi Di Casa — ready to open and teach.
Paolo has never known his disabled son Paolo — a teenager he is only now meeting for the first time. Gianni Amelio's understated road-trip drama follows two strangers bound by blood as they travel together across Europe and slowly, haltingly, learn what it means to be father and son. It is quiet and honest and completely devastating.
Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in Chiavi Di Casa and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.
Everything is included: the teacher's guide, student worksheets in Italian, and an answer key.
