It has a lot of creatures in it like vampires, wolves, and witches. T nominates Ss to share their ideas.
T tells Ss: Later in the lesson, you will talk with a partner about a movie or TV show you watched recently. Now, you will listen to a group of friends discussing a play they've just watched. While you listen, answer these 6 questions. You can write you answers down in a notebook or in this document I will share with you. The questions are listed under listening 1.

Timothee Chamalet and Zendaya. It really was more like... you were in the movie and not just watching it.
