Movie Segments for Warm-ups and Follow-ups

This blog contains a series of movie segments to be used to brainstorm, warm up, follow up, and activate schemata, preparing the students for the topic that will be discussed in class. Here you will find the segments, the lesson plans, and varied topics to foster conversation. You may use the activities for a full two-hour class or they can be used separately to brainstorm or wrap up the topic, focusing on conversation, vocabulary and listening comprehension.

Arrival: Memories

One of the best 2016 releases, especially for language teachers. A must see!

Work in small groups:

1. What is your earliest memory?

2. What is your most vivid childhood memory?

3. What is your happiest childhood memory?

4. What do you remember of your first day at school?

5. Do you remember your first kiss?

6. Are there any smells, music or tastes that bring back a childhood memory strongly?

7. What is the best memory you have?

8. How good is your memory?

9. What do you wish you were better at remembering?

10. Are computers making our ability to remember better or worse? Give some examples.

11. Is the ability to memorize lots of things important? Why or why not?

Watch the segment and make a summary of the main character's memories of her daughter's lifetime.
