• Synopsis. Using their storyboards as guides, students to write a synopsis of the movie.

Part 4 - Creative writing: Imagine that Bruno was caught by his father moments before going under the fence to meet up with Schmuel. The student's task is to write an alternative ending of what happens next. Include the father’s reaction towards Bruno and Schmuel.

How can movies help students learn English?

Learning from movies is motivating and enjoyable

- Sometimes students need a change in style, and movies are generally an integral

part of a student's life.

Movies provides authentic and varied language

- It's always a good idea to introduce students examples of English in real

situations. This includes accents different to your own.

Movies gives a visual context

- This gives the student the ability to interpret the language in full visual context.

To see such visual supports as facial expressions and gestures simultaneously.

Variety and flexibility

- Movies can also act as a springboard for follow-up tasks such as discussions,

debates on social issues, role plays, reconstructing a dialogue or summarising.
