Film Festival: An ESL Lesson Plan to Get Students Talking About Movies

 

Lesson Plan: This lesson is divided into two hours. The first lesson explores some basic language used to describe movies and the second lesson provides practice and more in-depth exploration. The first part is an old activity that I've used with a great deal of success for years and the second part is a role-play that I made recently and is still being tested out.
