Default Re: Movies, Cartoon suggestions?

Hello

I use the mr bean animated series in my middle school in Korea, the students love them and they are only 10 minutes long. There isnt a lot of dialogue but you can pause many times during the movie and ask questions, such as what is he doing? who is he? Why is mr bean sad? etc, etc and the students are engaged in this activity, i find it much more effectve in getting English out of my students. Here is an example of a mr bean animation. I downloaded 6 series from the internet. YouTube - ‪Mr. Bean Animated Series - Wanted‬‏ This is a good episode, you could even have a lesson theme of prison, depending on the type of school you teach at. I am at a school where we dont use textbooks and so i have to come up with my own ideas, so maybe working your lesson around a video is a good idea. So you can talk about a prison, who stays in a prison (guards, prisoners), why are prisoners in prison? etc etc. Hope this helps! Paul
