BLACKFISH Documentary Lesson

This lesson is based around the incredibly moving documentary 'Blackfish' which was directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite and premiered at the 2013 Sundance Festival. I've used this lesson with two different classes and on both occasions, the students were glued to the screen throughout, with a very lively class discussion afterwards. The topic is one which seems to get everyone involved - even the quietest students will have something to say.

There are no subtitles available on my DVD, however, I found that the students were able to follow quite easily because of the visual reinforcement (film footage) etc.

Suitable for teens/adults from high Pre-Intermediate upwards.
