Film circles

An action research project to implement a communicative activity for students. A film Circle is a structured group project where 5 students are assigned differennt roles to perform according to their abilities and interests. Each student in the group has to analyze a film from a different perspective and present conclusions. Each role is designed around specific activities that are completed before, while, and after watching a film. At every stage the activities include contextual support to build on background knowledge and make understanding easier, including the use of worksheets with graphic organizers, visual representations, word banks, and sentence starterts (Stephens, Ascensio, Burgos, Diaz, Montenegro, Valenzuela, 2012).
