A good movie for sub

Jan 21, 2016 | By Jessica

I really like that this movie features two teenagers - my students don't find it too babyish nor too boring. There is a lot of good information, and key vocab is highlighted. However, it is very quickly paced and covers A LOT of different topics. I use it to get students thinking about different ideas (cultural foods, foreign currency, etc.) as well as to see that life in large cities in Mexico is perhaps not AS different as they often think. I think it's appropriate to both MS and HS.
