Welcome to Movie and Drama class!

Hello class!

So we have the unique pleasure to enjoy and discuss films and television shows with each other for the next 5 weeks. I want us to take advantage of that opportunity and enjoy it!
It has been years since I've watched this movie. It is one of my all-time favorites. I hope you enjoy it too.

Think of this class as a movie club with your friends where anything you say will be heard and respected. Do not be afraid to speak your mind in my classroom. Most importantly do not be afraid to make mistakes. Learning a new language is about making mistakes. All of you are speaking English as your second language, mistakes are inevitable. Do not worry! I will always be proud of you for trying!

Remember that this week we will watch Dead Poet's Society at home and discuss it next Monday in class (June 7). I ask that you try to write a brief synopsis of the movie and prepare yourself for the questions at the end of the worksheet. Be sure to find some words or phrases that you do not understand from the movie. Finally, prepare a question or two that you think will create a class discussion.

If that seems too hard, just decide if you liked the movie or didn't like it and tell us why.

This class is to help you learn and enjoy learning English. How much you learn and enjoy it is entirely up to you!
