Cinema vs peli y manta

A full lesson on films, mejor/peor, and discussing whether it’s better to watch films at home (peli y manta) or go to the cinema.

The lesson begins with an odd-one-out settling task, where pupils have to identify words that they might already know, or use a dictionary, and choose the one that doesn’t belong in the group.

Once the pupils are settled and concentrated, the lesson moves on to a vocabulary presentation on film genres, with breaking-up tasks to help the pupils memorise these new words.

Following is a match-up task on adjectives that are commonly used to talk about films. Again, the pupils can use a dictionary if needed or try to work out the translations independently or in pairs.

The pupils can then complete a reading and matching-up task, where they will encounter even more adjectives and have to find the correct translation.

Following this, there is a brief grammar presentation of mejor/peor, lo mejor/lo peor, and an unjumble the sentences (with a challenge) exercise so the pupils can apply their new knowledge.

Finally, there is a cultural tip slide on the concept of peli y manta, and a slide to allow for a class discussion of peli y manta VS cinema.
