4. But this movie was made in 2005. What about today? What issues are present in the UN now? Would they be ripe for another political thriller? Having a character similar to Nicole Kidman's in The Interpreter, write a new script with a different plot but still with the Interpreter as the main character for the Trailer of your new movie using the current UN conflicts. You might have to search around this UN website.

Philosophy Cooperative Learning Activity Teacher - Language Teachers 1. You are to choose a current film, TV show or Streaming Trailer - Rotten Tomatoes Trailers are a good place to start - and, get the students, individually, to write the subtitles in your teaching language. There are complex trailers and more simple ones for you to choose. 2. After completing their subtitles, get the students, in pairs, to compare their subtitles and discuss any changes the other partner would make explaining their reasoning. Speak in language if possible. 3. Get the pairs to then join with other pair and repeat the process. 4. This group is to choose which one they would like to highlight by speaking the subtitles as the trailer is played.
