Manuela Moreno won the award for the best screenplay and best director in the XI edition of Notodofilmfest with this short film "Pipas"(=sunflower seeds).
As a teacher, my feelings about this video are bittersweet: it is so funny and yet so true and,therefore, sad...
Here´s your homework:
- switch off the sound and watch the video; as you read its subtitles in English, try to imagine what the conversation will sound like in Spanish. Pay attention to its slang and colloquial language
- write a new title for the film and explain why you think yours is better
- write a message to your class tutor explaining why you think you should/shouldn´t see and discuss this video in class
- turn the sound on and watch it again. Believe me, it is worth it!
Start the weekend with a smile!
Note: I first saw this video in Trafegando Ronseis, a blog that I truly recommend

I love your blog! Congrats! I've ended up here after reading your comment on Pipas in Vimeo. I may 'steal' (I mean, SHARE, hehehe) some of your ideas for my students, please feel free to use any materials in my blogs (http://bitsntips.wordpress.com; http://thisiseso.wordpress.com) you might find useful. I may ask my students to do the same kind of homework, they'll just love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your words and for the links to your blogs! I am really glad you find my entries useful! I have a great time in my lessons with some of them.
DeleteMy tittle is: "happy in the ignorance", because they should reed or study a little more instead of eating pipes all the afternoon.They need to improve their vocabulary, their street language, and believe the boyfriend who is saying the truth.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be interesting to discuss this video in class, because it's very funny (I have laugh a lot when I heard it with the sound on) and it's good for the people who doesn't like Maths, maybe it motivate them to study a little more.
Thanks for your comment, Coral
