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)
