QuestionsListening Comprehension– Answer the questions from the film. Answer them in full sentences. Be creative with your answers if you don’t know.
Teacher's Tips:Lots of language to work on for beginners or advanced classes. - Have the students answer in full sentences. - Work on different kinds of expressions (ex. I think I remember...; I think that his heart grew because...; The Grinch lived -just north of Whoville/ at the top of Mt. Crumpit, etc.) - Work alone or in groups - Use the correct tense and alternatives - The last question is intended to lead to a discussion The activity is to allow the students to listen and watch for general information instead of an exam-style listening for specific information. Let me know how it works! How the Grinch Stole ChristmasIf you don't have a copy of the film, it is in six parts on YouTube (for now)

If you're looking for a creative project to do with your TEENS or ADULTS, this is a fun project that should last two or three lessons depending on how long your classes are and how much you have to teach. The project is marked for White Belt and above, but it may be a bit too advanced for beginners. Objectives:Details:- Choose a film that you’ve seen and create a movie poster - The poster can be drawn or cut and pasted photos - Write a plot summaryof the film. (100-150 words- No Spoilers!) - Write at least 3 opinion reviews of the film. (Ex. Rotten Tomatoes) VOCABULARY:
Choose 3 words from above and write them in context using examples.
EXPRESSIONS YOU CAN USE:Plot and Setting: The film takes place in… <Film name> is a story about… You’ll leave this film feeling… _______ is about… Characters: The film stars… The main character, played by Brad Pitt,… <Name> (Brad Pitt)… Grammar: Relative ClausesEssentially, relative clauses are forms of connectors that we use to combine two small sentences to make a longer, more advanced sentence. The list of relative clauses are that, which, where, when, who, whom. If you or your students need a bit more information on relative clauses, check out the story lesson about My Most Embarrassing Story. Pro Tips:
Example:Easter Egg Lessons:Think Deeper - Students will get to think about their chosen film in a different way as they write the summary and review. Creativity - Students will get to exercise their creative muscles and make something as unique as their imagination. Extra Grammar - As the students write their summaries, help them come up with new ways to say what they want to say. What else can you find? Summary (Draft):
