Some common sense tips for 'teaching' 3rd and 4th graders using a movie:
- Pre-teach vocabulary - especially to ensure your principal will look on you favorably as an English instructor
- Watch the movie in small parts
- For low level students use subtitles in English or Korean depending on student need
- Review vocabulary and parts of the movie throughout the instruction process
- Guide students in drawing some characters, the setting and a favorite scene of the movie. Advanced students can add a written description of any or all the movie.
- Enjoy the movie with the students, you'll probably understand the humor and such more than they will anyway ^.^
