Sequence # 3 - Billy Elliot

Sequence # 3

Billy Elliot, a dancer or a boxer?

Tuesday, November 5^th

Description of the movie posters

The document is an extract from a movie.

It takes place in a boxing ring.

There are 2 characters, 2 children. A boy and a girl.

The boy is wearing a white vest top and black shorts. He has red gloves and a red helmet.

The girl has glasses but I can’t see her clothes.

Maybe she has a ballet dress and ballet shoes.

I can imagine they are brother and sister or they are a couple.

2- boxing ring.

3- There is … 1 character

    a) red ballet shoe / black tights

    b) blue floor / red ropes

4- … black tights

→ to hide the identity the dancer

→ boxing is for boys and ballet is for girls. Many people have this stereotype.
