 Activity for using movies in the ESL classroom, guess my movie. For this activity you should divide the class into pairs. Each student chooses a movie they know, and then they write down a basic outline of it. Details should contain things such as where it is set, the main plot, the character names etc. The next stage of the activity is to describe the movie to their partner using the written language. Points can be awarded to anyone who guesses the movie correctly. For this activity to work well, the teacher may need to pre-teach some relevant vocabulary, and you should ensure the students choose movies that are widely known.
