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.

Blended: Blended Families

Family that includes children from a previous marriage of the wife, husband, or both parents

Talk to a partner:

1. Do you live in a blended family? Do you know any blended families?

2. What are the difficulties a blended family may face?

3. What are the advantages of living in a blended family? And disadvantages?

4. Are blended families commonplace where you live?

5. Do you think blended families are good or bad for society? Explain it.

Watch the movie segment and observe what kinds of blended families you managed to see in the snippet.

What do you think about this kind of gathering of blended families in a resort? What is the main goal doing it? Would you join one?

Good evening, Claudio.
Won't you be able to post ideas anymore? Is everything ok with you?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to miss you.
Thanks.
