Arrival: Memories

One of the best 2016 releases, especially for language teachers. A must see!






Work in small groups:


1. What is your earliest memory? 

2. What is your most vivid childhood memory? 

3. What is your happiest childhood memory? 

4. What do you remember of your first day at school? 

5.  Do you remember your first kiss? 

6. Are there any smells, music or tastes that bring back a childhood memory strongly? 

7. What is the best memory you have?

8. How good is your memory?

9. What do you wish you were better at remembering?

10. Are computers making our ability to remember better or worse? Give some examples.

11. Is the ability to memorize lots of things important? Why or why not?


Watch the segment and make a summary of the main character's memories of her daughter's lifetime.

Revolver ain’t gonna fall for your cutesy tricks Yet at the same time, Ghost Girl also very well ma...

'Manos Returns' Teaser #2

The good news is a new teaser for Manos Returns has been released and it looks and sounds creepy, thanks to a spooky rendition of Row Row Row Your Boat . The bad news is it doesn't look like the sequel will be ready in time for the 50th anniversary of Manos: The Hands of Fate , as originally planned. I think the new plan is for Manos Returns to premiere sometime in 2017. Don't worry though. To paraphrase Torgo, "It will be done soon."
