SPEAKING.PAIR WORK. 1 BACH

PAIR WORK ACTIVITY

Students A watch the first minute of the scene with no sound and describe it to their B partners who won't be facing the screen, And then, switch roles. 

Describe what you see as much as you can. Not only actions, the way they move, what they are wearing, the atmosphere, what you can guess about the people, their feelings, time, country, etc.

They should then be allowed to watch the whole scene so they can check if the description they heard from their classmates was accurate.

The scene was  taken from the film "Parasite".  In the segment you will  watch the scene with comments from director Bong Joo Ho, who narrates a sequence from his film.

There are lots of scenes commented mostly by their directors on Anatomy of a scene (USEFUL LINKS IN THIS BLOG) a great section of THE NEW YORK TIMES

She has also climbed Mount Everest. 9 times!!! and set a world record.

2 ESO BILINGUAL
At the weekend when I have some time and read international press I find articles that could be interesting, inspiring, moving for you.  Sometimes I upload them even with the certainty they are not going to be read. Other times we do use them in class.  In this case I had decided to leave it aside but reading one of the texts in class about the teenager who had reached the top of Mount Everest I remembered LHAKPA SHERPA: an inspiring woman who has achieved a world record but needs her job washing dishes to make a living.
It is surely too difficult for some of you, but you can give it a try.

I was moved by her words at the end of the article. 

“I would like to hide in the mountain,” Lhakpa confesses on our descent, aware of her humble circumstances. “But I have to show my face here.”
