FilmArobics, Inc. specializes in comprehensive lesson plans to accompany feature-length films in four languages (Spanish, French, German and Italian) and ESL. Although each of our lesson plans is different, you will find some common characteristics. We break the film down into 10 to 15 minute segments for each lesson. Each lesson contains:

• Vocabulary necessary to understand the film or necessary to discuss the film;
• Cultural notes when appropriate;
• Several comprehension exercises
• Two communicative exercises where students either discuss something in the film or discuss a topic related to their lives but which is brought up in the film;
• A follow-up homework assignment that is often a writing assignment.

Each lesson generally lasts anywhere from 45 to 50 minutes of class time. We recommend you show a film once per week over a period of 8 to 9 weeks.
