5. Why this movie
• My own experience
• Emotional movie
• Motivating
• Make pupils talk
•
«Recommending some films that many tweens enjoy…. more dramas than c
or action films. … because well told dramas often have clearer language the
action and comedy genres. They also allow pupils better opportunities for
involvement with the story»
«Films based on true stories can enable pupils to`talk about people, places a
events from English-speaking contries`.»
