Cineforum: movies taken from British or American novels for children

 

I've always used movies to improve students' listening comprehension, but I've always preferred movies taken from novels. So I have the chance to talk about literature, as well. 

This is a poster about my cineforum I created with Piktochart. You can save you poster as an image, as the following, or you can make it interactive, as you can see clicking on the next link.

Below you can find the above poster, but now it's interactive...

Below you can have some more information. This time I used Blendspace.

There are links to the movies' trailers, to some information about the novels they are taken from, to sites about movies or books for EFL students.

 "I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians".
Francis Ford Coppola

 

Travelling through books

You don’t have to go far away to have new experiences.

“Not all of us can travel the whole globe, but just making travel a priority—even to a new place a day's drive away—can be eye-opening.”

Mark Twain

You can even travel ....staying at home!

 “Reading is like travel, allowing you to exit your own life for a bit, and to come back with a renewed, even inspired, perspective.” Laurie Helgoe 

 

"Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere."  

Mary Schmich

"Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are."  
Mason Cooley         

"It is not true we have only one life to live…if we can read, we can live as many lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish."   
S.I. Hayakawa

                   

                READING IS...

                      

    

What is reading for you? 

 Do you feel like travelling when you' re reading?

Why?
