INKHEART - who said what?
This is another one of my wss for the movie Inkheart - beautiful movie and a most wonderful book - a father who can read stories aloud and make things from the fantasy world come to ours... But, as always, there�s a price to pay! I did it with sts from 8-16 and they all loved it. This particular wss is about who said what - which I usually play as ...

EMINEM & RELATIONSHIP ABUSE

Naturally, it�s up to you to decide who you can use it with(perhaps older teenagers and adults)...

THE FISHER KING - detailed movie follow-up
This is a wonderful movie to do with advanced sts (I did it with FCE and CAE groups), because it�s funny, serious, normal and twisted - just like any other Gilliam�s movie. It�s not new, so they probably haven�t seen it, which is great, because you can watch it part by part, and keep them guessing. At first they are a bit confused(with Robin Willia...
