CLIPS: The Walking Dead +”Lion King Circle od Life”

A) The Walking Dead

4.Have brief  discussion about zombies eg do  students know any films ,series, songs or videogames about zombies? Would they like to watch this series? Then tell them that youre going to describe scene from later in the same episode to them . Students should note down key words (not every word) while you say (something like)the following:

5. Students in pairs compare the words they’ve noted down. Then ask them if they want to ask any vocabulary questions. They will. Then they reconstruct the scene, using the present simple.

6-Tell students they are going to watch the scene, and they should find the differences between the description and the clip from 2.40 to almost the end. (*there are several differences).

Students predict what happens next. Play the scene until he hears the voice coming over the radio, and ask them to predict again. (In the next episode, the voice tells him the best route to take from the tank to a nearby meeting place. The police officer follows the instructions and meets the owner of the voice).

7. Now its their turn. Give students time to think about a scene from a film or series which sticks in their mind for some reason, and how to describe it. Help with vocabulary. Then they tell in pairs, and say whether they would like to watch their partner’s film / series.

B) Lion king Circle of Life

Count the number of different animals ie five elephants and three lions count as two animals.

  1. Thank you for some other informative web site. Where else may
    I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect way?

    I have a project that I am simply now running on, and I have been
    at the look out for such info.

  2. Thanks a lot for your comments. I am trying to use some of these topics, films…you can see in the blog in order to show my 17 years old students (in an optional two hours weekly class they choose instead of religion class). I am not an expertee, I just copy what I read or listen to in the media. About your question, I can tell you I got the information in one of the courses given to teachers by teachers working for MacMillan publisher.
    Adiós,
    Miguel
