Give an example of a movie you recently watched and use the vocabulary listed before sending students to work in break out rooms. They should take 2 minutes to write some sentences to share with their partners. Example: I recently watched the new John Wick as I like the first few movies. I really enjoyed the parts like when John Wick does hand to hand combat. The movie is very martial arts heavy like one of those Kung Fu movies. The main character has many great traits such as he loves his dog, he is a world class assassin, and he is a generally nice guy. Overall, it was a great movie as the good guy does not die. Activity: Learners discuss the topics related to films and plays, using the useful language provided and the sentences they have prepared in Ex 6b. Encourage them to express their opinions and experiences. Monitor their discussions and note areas for feedback. Take notes for error correction and feedback.
