Movies and language activities

Within the etwinning project "Making Films, Making Friends" students are creating language activities on movies and on scenes from films they liked.
First they watched a film or a scene and then in groups they created language activities for their mates. To do so Italian students used the Learning Apps (https://learningapps.org/) while Norwegian students used kahoot (https://getkahoot.com/).

Here is a thinglink where we collected all their works. The blue tags are by Norwegian students and the green ones are by the Italian ones. The red tags are scenes from films they liked.




After having created the activities students played each other games and enjoyed a lot!

Here are Norwegian students playing games created by Italian students.


And here Italian students are playing a kahoot game created by Norwegian students. The quiz is about the movie "Animal Farm" based on the book written by George Orwell.
