1) Give students the title of a movie clip they are about to watch.
Handout blank mind map templates that you have prepared, either on hard copy or digitally.
Have them brainstorm in groups or pairs.
Tell students to imagine what the movie will be about and add words and images to their map to represent the storylines they predict.
Then watch the movies as a whole class.
Ask students if the real movie was very different from their stories.
Watch again and ask students to map the similarities and differences on a new mindmap.
Now put students into pairs from different groups. They must compare and contrast their maps and tell each other about the similarities and
differences.
Story
fantasy
Movie Topic
Keywords

2) Follow-up from idea one or stand-alone activity.
As a follow –up students write the story of their imaginary movie or even create their
own movies using digital technology.
As a stand-alone activity, you can give students a topic based on a theme you have in your course book. Give them key words in mind map form for revision and tell them to put these words into a topic-based story or
their own movie.

Teams Guessing
games Yes/no

3) Follow-up to idea two or else as a stand-alone activity.
Students create their stories or movies at home.
Then they create mindmaps of their movies for class. In class each student or pair/group presents the mindmaps to the class.
Divide the class into teams.
The class have to guess what the story or movie is about based on the map, asking only yes/no questions.
The map should be large enough for everyone to see or else on an o overhead projecter/or in digital format.

4) Alternative follow-up to three or stand-alone activity
Students create movies. They write the story of the movie at home. Next day they read out their stories to the class. In this case there are
no visual aids, so it’s essentially a listening activity.
Students listen and map the story.
Have map templates handy so as not to waste time. They just add keywords to their maps.
Afterwards get students to retell the stories to each other and compare with the original. Then they can watch the short movie.
Finally, they can embellish/design their maps with images and display around the class, keep in special project folders or display online
through blogs etc.
Focus
Parts
Characters Parts of speech feelings/mood
appearance

6) Alternatives to idea five.
Instead of letting student just map anything they want, ask them to focus on particular parts of the story.
For example:
Ask them to mind map the characters as they imagine their characteristics and appearance.
Ask them to mind map only nouns, verbs, events.
Alternative, divide them into teams. Each team has a separate focus, some map the events, others the ideas, other the verbs, others
different parts or speech, others map the feelings or mood.

8) Movie-grammar maps.
Imagine a Mr. Bean movie clip. Mr. Beam always does ridiculous things.
Example of grammar to practice: should/shouldn’t have
Hand out mind map templates with lexical branches (and/or images) and should/shouldn’t along the branches.
Students watch the movie and write down what Mr. Bean should/shouldn’t have done.
What others ideas can you come up with?
Vocabulary
Brainstorm
Watch & recognise

8) Jumbled words
Give students sets of jumbled words in groups.
Tell them to arrange the words onto a mind map and then act out their stories for the
class.
Then show everyone the real movie –clip and tell them to map the true story
Impressions
feelings
Sharing /chatting
9
9) Impressions and feelings
Find an emotive movie clip and let the class watch it.
Also hand out simple mindmap templates and tell them to jot down their feelings onto branches which represent scenes in the
movie..
(option)Roleplay that they are at the cinema with
friends or date & they chat about the movie after, describing their impressions.
Adjectives
Scenes
reviews

10) Adjectives
Students watch movie clip and write down adjectives to describe different parts of the
movie scenes as depicted on mind map branches.
After put them into groups and tell them to put all of their adjectives together.
Now they can direct their own movies scenes using these adjectives to make up a story.

I sat there with SallyWe sat there, we two
and I said “ how I wish we had something to do
Too wet to go out, to cold to play ball
so we sat in the house, we did nothing at all
