Class Discussion:



  1. Can you believe me if I tell you that this is exactly what I need for my Monday class? I'm starting a unit about predictions and the future. Thanks for sharing, I'll let you how it works.

  2. Isn't it just great? Tell me how it works, OK? I like the segments a lot!

  3. Dear Claudio,
    I have used the lesson plan today in one of my in-company classes and my students loved it. It generated a great conversation with my students about destiny. Apart from that, they were all very eager to know how the movie continues. They were planning to watch the movie at home so we can discuss it next class. Thanks for sharing.

  4. It is so great to hear that! Yes, there is a lot to talk about with these segments. The movie is very gripping and controversial. I'm sure you'll still have a lot to talk about. Thanks for the feedback. See you!

  5. Fantastic stuff Claudio.

    I have been using you other grammar video blog a lot here in Thailand, and I find it to be a wonderful teaching tool.

    This new blog is impressive also. Great for conversation classes.

    Fantastic stuff.
