Summary
In this class, students will watch short videos about different types of movies. After that, we'll talk together
about what kind of movie we saw and what the characters were like. Students will also write down any new
words they learn during this activity. During our class discussions, we'll see how well students can share their
thoughts, describe different movie types, and talk about the characters' traits. We want to see that students
understand and are interested in the material. To help them learn new words, we'll have a quick quiz that
includes the words they've learned in this unit. This way, we can check if they understand the meanings and
how to use these new words. This approach aims to make learning about movies and expanding vocabulary a
fun and engaging experience for students.
