    The document provides an activity from a blog about using movie segments to assess grammar goals. The activity discusses a scene from the movie The Omen and provides sentences from the scene to rewrite using specified adverbials to follow the grammar rule of inversion after negative adverbials. It then poses discussion questions about the ethics of Mr. Thorn's actions in accepting an orphan baby from a priest after his wife had a stillbirth, and how people may react in similar situations. It asks whether adoptions should be made easier to avoid such situations in the future, and whether any characters were at fault.
