Dead Poets Society Worksheets
The 21st March is World Poetry Day and it is an excellent opportunity to show students a film I am particularly fond of (in fact most teachers are): Dead Poets Society. Dead Poets Society is a 1989 American drama film directed by Peter Weir, written by Tom Schulman, and starring Robin Williams. Set in 1959 at the fictional elite conservative boarding school Welton Academy, it tells the story of an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry. There are tons of worksheets out there for both native and EFL students focusing on different aspects of the film. The film itself is very rich in literature material and can provoke discussions on many issues like poetry, conformity, education, the list goes on. The following worksheets are inspired by the ones found on the internet so in this sense they are not original. However they are written with my students in mind (ideally 15-18 year olds at B1+ level) and are adapted to what can be easily
This is a real pleasure to work with such an enhusiastic, assiduous and full of fresh ideas partner. I hope our first eTwinning project will be the preface for a long and fruitful cooperation :) Lucyna Dłubak
ReplyDeleteI'm not very skilled with technology and this scared me a bit when I started the project but thanks to collaborative friends and partners like Lucyna and Evridiki everything has become easier and very interesting. The exchange has been useful for students and a starting point for a lot of FB friendships. And another important aspect for me is that collaboration isn't limited to E-twinning activities but it means sharing ideas and tools beyond the project. This has been made possible by Evridiki, a talented and passionate teacher, who has offered me to know so many new things and enter this wonderful world full of precious sources for teaching English. In particular, let me say, Evridiki,that the layout is very pleasant and CLEAR and that contents are of high quality. I agree with Lucy, it is a pleasure to work with you and thank you very much for offering me such a fantastic opportunity!
