Implementation

Select a short video which would be interesting to watch and select three key English words that are used.

After watching the video, share your pre-selected key words.

Start a discussion on the scenery, places, objects, gestures, expressions, style of dress, music, what the characters ate and drank, etc. Encourage others to offer their views/opinions to create a debate.

The goal is not to form a discussion around a certain theme, but rather to discuss the making of the film and everything that it consists of.

Tips and tricks for the facilitator:
Be cautious when selecting movies/videos.
Do not pick sensitive movies/videos.
Do not hesitate to show the video several times.
