A dialogue featuring some of the central characters from the film "Was tun, wenn's brennt?" The dialogue is not an actual scene from the film but is a fantasy love triangle featuring three of the characters. The text focuses on physical description, with a little bit of jealousy thrown in. It is followed by activities in which students must (i) identify key language, (ii) adapt the dialogue, focusing on the words in bold type, and (iii) enhance the dialogue by adding in adverbial phrases from a given list. Students will need to have seen the end of the film to get the joke at the end of the dialogue.
Slide 1 acts as a homepage for the activity. Students choose a number and are hyperlinked to one of the following nine slides. Each of these slides features a character from the Hunger Games plus on-slide support to help students say something about the character. Able students could use the support as a starting point for extended observations.

Activity practising articles in the Accusative in the context of saying what you got for your birthday. Each slide reveals a cropped picture of a putative birthday present, which the pupils have to identify. Then the full picture is revealed. On the next click a sentence such "Ich habe ein Trkot bekommen." reveals itself slowly and students have to race against the powerpoint. They may not start their sentence before the PPT but have to finish the sentence before the PPT. Worked well with a middle ability Year 9 class.
