The idea of a hotel in space if not a new one: humanity, collectively and individually, has long dreamed of leaving our atmosphere, and combining it with one of our favourite activities, vacation, seems like a perfect match. Soon, that dream is set to become a reality. Well, providing you’re very wealthy.

WRITING
STEP 1: Find yourself a partner/partners.
STEP 2: Come up with a good plot for a sci-fi movie taking place in a space hotel.
TIP: You can ask Chat GPT for 5 ideas about a sci-fi movie taking place in a space hotel. Rank these ideas. Present them to your partners. Decide which idea you are going to use. This can be one idea or a combination of several ideas. Ask Copilot to make some images of the space hotel. Done? Present the idea to your teacher before you go to the next assignment. Post your idea and images in the correct upload zone.
STEP 3: Go to this website and make a checklist of what you need to write in your synopsis. Place this in the uploadzone on Smartschool.
STEP 4: Use the template below to write your synopsis and place it in the uploadzone on Smartschool.
TIP: You can start writing in groups. One students writes 5 sentences and hands this to a classmates. The classmate reads the first 5 sentences and adds 5 more. Repaet this process. Students discuss the different outcomes and choose which storyline they are going to use for the plot. Afterwards, one student hands in the text in the upload zone.
STEP 1: Make a movie poster to show your classmates.
Make a poster using Canva or a similar program.
Use the key information to ‘fill in’ the template or create the poster from scratch.
Top: The names of actors and actresses
Middle Top: Movie title
Middle Bottom: Teaser sentence or movie tagline (the aforementioned ‘essence’ can be useful here)
Very bottom: The fine print where you add the names of anyone who had anything to do with the creation of the film. You can also add legal disclaimers, clarify publishing rights, and itemize dates, countries, and other relevant info.
Place the poster in the uploadzone.
STEP 2: Pitch your movie idea to the rest of the class, and show your classmates your movie poster.
