Hi,

What sort of films would be suitable? I was thinking of Shrek since there are both boys and girls in the class.

If anyone has got some ideas that would be great.

Thanks,

Smile

Watership Down, maybe? Though the made-up words might cause a little confusion.

Steven Spielberg's first movie, Duel, is great. Virtually no dialogue, two characters (one of whom is a truck), 200% suspense. Keeps them shut up for 90 minutes. Plenty of possibilities for extension activities.
