Look at this sweet video called Mixtape:


 Watch carefully. Answer the following questions with your partner: 

- What is the name of the boy?
- What is the name of the girl?
- What is the boy bringing for the girl? What kind of music is it?
- Where is the girl when the boy calls?
- What is the relationship between the boy and the girl?
- Does the girl like the mixtape? How do we know?
- Did you like the story? 

When you finish, you can do this kahoot 

Imagine the boy and the girl are classmates and they meet the day after, in class. Can you create the dialogue between them, where they speak about the mixtape?





Another video to do lots of activities in English with:

Practice predictions:
We start the activity making predictions about the story looking at the title and/or the film poster: What type of film is it? Who do you think are the main characters?… Then, we start watching the film. I stop the video at certain moments and the students have to predict what will happen next in the story. If they need some help, we can ask them some questions. For example: What will the pigeon do? What will happen to the agent?
Change the ending:
The students have to change the ending of the story. They can do it orally or writing it.
Tell me a story:
The students can retell the story to their partners or using it as an example, tell a new story.
What would happen if…:
This activity can be used to revise the Second or Third Conditionals. Using the conditionals, the students can comment on the story. What would have happened if…?  What would you do if…?
