Alien attack?

This is a video created by a Vancouver Film School student. Watch it and then start a discussion in your class.

😎 Try it! After watching the video think about how would you feel arriving in a strange new place, what would you do? And, if you had the opportunity, how would you describe your community to a new visitor? How could you make he/she feel welcome? You can start a discussion in your class, write down your opinions in the blackboard and then write an article with the conclusions.

Make your superhero!

If you like reading or watching films about superheroes now you have the opportunity to create your own one!

😎 Try it! Click on the Hero Factory and choose the face, body, powers, abilities, name… of your superhero! When you finish, print your character or save it in your e-mail adress. Then, show your hero to the rest of the class and write a description explaining why is he/she special. You can follow these questions as a guide:

  • What super-powers does he/she have?
  • What adventures does he/she have?
  • What is his/her alter-ego like?
  • Does he/she have a side-kick?
  • Who is his/her arch enemy?
  • You can work all together with the rest of the class. Think about a problem in your class and design a superhero who can cope with it.

    We all live in a yellow submarine

    You can listen to music, but sometimes is possible to read or even to watch music. Turn off the volume and let’s see it with Yellow Submarine,  a 1966 song by The Beatles.

    😎 Try it! Think of a song and work in pairs. Prepare a power point presentation only with the lyrics or images about the song and show it to the rest of the class. Without listening the music, will your classmates be able to guess the title or the rythm of your song?
