Let´s be consistent!

Hi! How are you? I have decided to talk about the literature on the screen. Last classes were useful to comprehend the importance of films in the school. During the school, children saw the films as a prize. In our class, we could understand that films can be a good resource to learn English.

First of all, we remember how we worked with the films when we were children. The opinions were similar and we were accord with teachers employed films as a prize when the students had finished the activity.

After that, we saw Mulan and when we finished the film, we had to answer some questions relate to the film. 

We thought about the films that we had seen with teachers and we shared our opinions about the use of films.

So, in my opinion, the most important part of the activity was to organize the advantages of using films in a classroom according to 4cs. We had to relate the characteristics with the 4cs and I think that it was useful to understand the use of the films. As teacher, we should to relate our subject with CLIL strategies to improve the English level in our class.

Finally, we answered some questions relate to the film. Each group was the responsible of a question and when all the groups finished, we had to put in common the ideas. I think that it was a great summary of the film because the questions were focused on the role of men, the role of woman, the role of the family, the role of elderly people, violence, success, the bad characters, china´s situation and the moral of the story. With these questions, we could to distinguish the main factors of the film.

Relate to the roles, I have decided to include a part of the film that it is present the role of the women in China:

Role of the women in China

Thanks to this class, we have checked the different uses of a film in a class. In my opinion, I think that this class had been useful to reflect about films because we should to know the importance of use films. I think that as teachers, we have to include this tool as something productive and not as a prize!

Let's be consistent!
