Outstanding worksheets for video reveiws

Thanks for sharing those outstanding worksheets.

I often just have students write down the speaker, topic, and date on a piece of paper. Then students can draw a line with two columns: what I liked and What could be improved. The loose format sometimes evokes more information from students on peer presentations.

Sometimes a more detailed worksheet, of course, is required. Context matters.

Looks like your link is outdated Alex - managed to find some good resources on your blog though. Thanks.

Any controversy over showing "Life of Brian"?

Alex's collection of video resources is excellent, and includes one for using "Life of Brian" - the Monty Python classic.

Has anybody else used "Life of Brian" in classes? Isn't the material a tad too controversial - at least for the more religious Christians? I don't think that I could show it in either adult or IEP classes in the United States. It would be generate too many complaints - and comedies can be especially tricky.
It's far safer - if less fun - to stick to comedies like Groundhog Day.

Any other reactions? Thoughts?
