With the help of the film "Purpose" by Victor O'Frank (2016) and the accompanying materials, a discussion about the meaning of life can be initiated.

The film is suitable, for example, for presenting a counterpoint to the materialistic idea of the American Dream.

This material includes:

• Picture cards for discussing values: These can be used as a warm-up activity and again at the end of the lesson to assign values to the protagonist of the short film.

• Worksheet with viewing comprehension tasks (docx, pdf): The tasks are open-ended.

• Reflection sheet on listening strategies: Students assess their own listening comprehension skills and reflect on their learning strategies.
