This is a low level high school ESL lesson that could also be easily used in an advanced middle school class. All my students recognized the films although most of them needed help with the actors names. The key phrases don't allow for much sentence expansion, although any high level students could expand a bit on the final question.
Lesson aim.
To be able to write a movie review. To be able to talk about movies. To learn the names of movie genres.
Time.
50 minutes
What you need.
Movie Review presentation. (To watch the movie trailer just click on the number in the corner of the slide)

Next explain what a movie review is and ask the students what they would normally read about in a movie review (7 minutes)
