TEACHER’S NOTES:

Fun time - going to the movies!

Aim: for students to carry out a webquest linked to unit 3 - free time -
finding out about London's top ten films, the type of film, director
and expressing their own likes/dislikes for the films listed. This
worksheet is designed to consolidate the language learnt in unit 3.
Time: 40 minutes
Materials: photocopies of the worksheet for each student.

1 Pre-teach vocabulary: thriller, action, Sci-Fi, drama, comedy, romance

before the students start.

2 Expressing length of film and film times gives some extra numbers
practice here too, but the main aim is for students to search out the
information and choose a film they like the look of. The functionality of
the website is fairly clear - apart from their first click to get to top 10
films, they only need to click on each for selected cinemas and times
to leave that screen (which they can always get back to by pressing
back).

3 When students have their results, ask them to compare their finding
with a partner.
