As you all know, I'm a high school teacher and I'm always looking for new activities to keep my students (ages 16 - 19) motivated.
It's not easy! Those kids come from the local slums and they're the toughest students you can possibly imagine.
I've already told about my Android tablets (class saviors, I bought eight of them and I don't regret it at all, it was a great investment) and yesterday we did some creative writing. They watched seven movie clips (I used Nero Multimedia to make the DVD with the videos) and wrote a conclusion to those scenes.
Chosen movies were: The Ugly Truth, Prometheus, A History of Violence, Goldfinger, Hellraiser 1 (no gore, just the protagonist walking down a shadowy corridor), Mr Bean goes to school (always a favorite among these kids) and Warm Bodies.
They're mostly girls, so I was pretty sure they were going to love Warm Bodies and The Ugly Truth and they did!
The 90 minutes flew by, they practiced their writing skills and I was proud!
