PART 2 – Creativity

• In the first section students are to imagine one of their parents is a god and then write a recount of their first day at the camp. They need to include being introduced to their new weapons and powers/skills and how they use them.

• Students are to imagine they are out training in the forest and a beast attacked and almost left them for dead. They have to give a detailed and accurate description of the beast and what happened. To include a drawing of the beast, how they escaped, where it took place...

Loosely based on the American fantasy-adventure novel by Rick Riordan, the movie is about a teenager who discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods.

How can movies help students learn English?

Learning from movies is motivating and enjoyable

- Sometimes students need a change in style, and movies are generally an integral

part of a student's life.

Movies provides authentic and varied language

- It's always a good idea to introduce students examples of English in real

situations. This includes accents different to your own.

Movies gives a visual context

- This gives the student the ability to interpret the language in full visual context.

To see such visual supports as facial expressions and gestures simultaneously.

Variety and flexibility

- Movies can also act as a springboard for follow-up tasks such as discussions,

debates on social issues, role plays, reconstructing a dialogue or summarising.
