Here's part of my lesson plan.
L11 is complex because the book only gives you a very small amount of situations to use "I don't understand" and "Do you find _______ interesting?" So I decided to go along with other teachers in the original thread and modify the publisher's idea for the lesson.
1) L11A Handout - the first period we will go over the vocabulary (what does it mean in English?), key expressions and textbook Speaking activities. I find the activities in the book TOO easy and predictable, so I've made more on the handout (modified from the standard Elementary handouts). There's some space left for writing notes or what have you as well.
2) L11B Movie Quiz and Worksheet - on the board, I will explain Genre, Setting, Plot, and Review. I'll give them some key words (like romantic comedy, thriller, action, spy, drama, historical, etc) and the coteacher and I will work together to help them through the "Quiz" ppt. The more creative the answers, the more points to the teams. After the PPT, have them choose their favorite movies to write about (at least two) and 1 for homework (if you assign homework).
This can also be used as a game. Don't write the title, but write about the movie. Then quiz your friend.
Ex. A: "It's a thriller spy movie about a man. He kills some people. I thought it was really exciting."
B: "I don't know/I don't understand...How about James Bond?"
That kind of thing. Good luck! ^^
