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.

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?
