Description

In this lesson, learners will have learned productive skills for movie review through guided and freer practice base on a reading text which will help to contextualize specific chunks about movie reviews. The lesson starts with a lead-in where the teacher will describe a movie and learners have to guess which movie she's describing. Learners will then have an opportunity to personalize the topic by sharing some details about their favorite (or least favorite) movies and why they like or don't like the movie. The TL will then be presented through M(A)F for chunks, which is accompanied by a guided task for meaning clarification. Following the language presentation, the sample layout will then be presented through a written text, then a Jamboard activity for clarification. Learners will then have the opportunity to practice the language through a freer task of writing. Lastly, learners will each be given a check list, then placed in pairs, as they conduct peer reviews. The teacher, will then conduct a final OCFB and error corrections.

Sample Analysis - Layout (3-5 minutes) • To provide learners the opportunity to productively respond to what they've learned in writing

-Instructions: - Learners will be sent two jamboards in the chat. - Learners will read the text below for gist about the layout of movie reviews Title: The Notebook – A captivating love story Introduction: This 2hrs long, romantic drama starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams was released in the summer of 2004, based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, with the same title. It’s rated PG13 and is expertly directed by Nick Cassavetes who has also directed many other notable movies, such as John Q. with Denzel Washington and My Sister’s Keeper with Cameron Diaz. This film has won various awards and has made over $100 million at the box office. I didn’t watch this film when it first came out, but with all the glowing reviews that surrounded it at the time, I had great expectations. Main Idea: In the opening scene there’s an older gentleman reading a book to an older lady. As he starts to read, the scene flashed to a time period in the 40’s where a group of teenagers were having fun at what looked like an outdoor fair. At this point it is not clear what the relationship between the two people is. However as the story unfolded, it became clear that it is not another stereotypical chick-flick. I thought Gosling’s performance was absolutely remarkable, while McAdams gave the part much personality as they take you on a wild romantic journey that will have you laughing, crying and reminiscing on your own love story. Conclusion: I highly recommend this film to anyone and everyone who can appreciate a captivating love story. I think it’s great for men, women. I especially think it’s great for couples to watch together. It is one of the few films that parents will not be embarrassed to watch with their teenagers. It can be a movie night for the whole family. -Learners will then be asked to match the correct information with correct sections of a movie review. -T will DEMO task - Once finished T provide and answer key and conducts OCFB
