Wicked for Good

Wicked is back, with a vengeance and for good! The second part of the adventures of Elphaba and Glinda is released on 19 November, revealing another aspect of these two women’s relationship. Whether you teach A1+ students or B1 ones, these activities will help you explore the world of Wicked.

We offer 2 levels of analysis based on pictures from the film, a poster and an article and / or (backstage) video.

With your A1+/A2 students, you will focus on descriptions and voicing opinions while your B1 students will mainly work on expressing contrast, opposition and voicing opinions while thinking about the message conveyed by the film and how relevant to today’s world it is.

That, for sure, is wicked!
