 |
|
| I need some suggestions for a Christmas movie to show my students. I'm looking for low-intermediate language, good entertainment, and lots of points in the movie where I can pause and check for comprehension, prediction, and vocabulary knowledge. |

| That's a pretty boring movie, no offense. Depressing, too. I'll try Home Alone out tonight on my computer. |

If you want to bore the balls off your students then Home Alone is the movie to go with.....it's a good movie, but has been shown to death on tv here in Korea - just about every kid has seen it at least a dozen times. |

Well, I brought in two worksheets with Christmas vocabulary to insert into a Christmas themed dialogue. It went well. Then I showed them a PPT of each Christmas vocabulary item they had written into their sentences (e.g. eggnog, mistletoe, reindeer [caribou], Christmas Eve, mass, merry, jolly, decorative). I rewarded correct answers with Christmas chocolates. In the PPT I showed them pictures from home, a photograph of me in a Christmas play, and other pictures of snowstorms in my hometown. At the end, we had about 10 minutes left to watch particular parts of a movie. I brought in Home Alone 1, Home Alone 2, and A Christmas Story. So far, the first class chose Home Alone 1, and my second class chose A Christmas story, a movie far better suited for pulling out comprehension and vocabulary out of students.
There's a fire drill today. However, I've been told that teachers can stay inside the school during it. What kind of sense does that make? I'll suffer the warmth of a heated room, though. |
