FilmArobics, Inc. specializes in
comprehensive lesson plans to accompany feature-length films in four languages
(Spanish, French, German and Italian) and
ELL.
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.
