How are you today? Today here's a post for both classes about movies and TV. 

What kinds of movies or TV shows do you like? Here are a couple of clips of movies and TV shows I have watched over the years. This first clip is the trailer for a recent movie called Argo, with Ben Affleck.

Where does the story take place? What is Ben Affleck's role? Why do you think he goes to the places he goes to - the one in the U.S., then the one in the other country? Why do you think the people in the other country are trapped? What do you think will happen to them if they don't get out? 

This next one is a TV show I watched when I was younger called The Prisoner.

From the opening sequence, when do you think this show was made? Where does this show take place? Why do you think they are after the main character? Why is he taken to the place they have taken him? What kind of a place is it? 

What are your favorite movies or TV shows? Let's do some textbook work - then let's talk about your favorite movies or TV shows!

Have fun!
