| Aim | To develop fluency in the context of cinema and film |
| Activity | Students discuss or debate issues |
| Organisation | Group work and whole class |

| What do I do? | 1 Divide students into groups and hand out the activity. 2 Groups discuss the issues and questions first in groups, then as a class. To use as a debate: 1 Use numbers 1-4. Divide the class into two halves. One half must argue in favour of the points raised, the other must argue against. 2 Give the groups some time to prepare their arguments. 3 Have a class debate. You can nominate a student to chair the debate, or chair it yourself |

CINEMA AND FILM 1. Some Hollywood stars are paid $20 million per film. Is this too much? 2. There is too much sex and violence in films. 3. Films do not need to reflect real life - fantasy is good! 4. Films should never be censored - we should be able to choose what we want to see. 5. What makes you go and watch a film at the cinema? 6. If you made a film, what would it be about? |
