Denne film har mange tematikker, man kan arbejde med i klassen. Fx Friendship, Relationships, Family, Rich and Poor , Areas in New York m.m.
I kapitelmærkningen nedenfor er filmen delt ind i forskellige relevante afsnit med forskellige opgaver. Hensigten er ikke, at alle elever løser alle opgaver. Derimod er tanken, at alle ser filmen samlet, hvorefter et eller flere kapitler deles ud til par eller små grupper. Herefter fremlægges på klassen og filmen kan diskuteres i sin helhed.
Under ’Supplerende materialer’ længere nede på posten ligger en generel vejledning til arbejdet med film ’Working with English Films’. Den består af en række forslag til generelle ideer og opgaver til at arbejde med film i engelskundervisningen. Der er både forslag til mundtlige og skriftlige opgaver, og derudover er det særligt fremhævet, hvor it, bevægelse og kreativitet er integreret i disse.
Du kan således udvælge de opgaver, som er mest hensigtsmæssige i din undervisning.
