What do teachers say about this resource? (6304)

I love this film and I really like the variety of activities in this resource and how the pace of the resource seems to match the pace of the film. The gap fill exercises, the translation activities and the “who says what” activity are really good and I would really like to use them with my students. I also liked the detailed information about the director and the actors. I have seen the film many times but was able to learn something new from this resource that I hadn’t even considered before!
