School Year 2013-14: Homework Assignment 4

Manuela Moreno won the award for the best screenplay and best director in the XI edition of Notodofilmfest with this short film "Pipas"(=sunflower seeds).


As a teacher, my feelings about this video are bittersweet: it is so funny and yet so true and,therefore, sad...

Here´s your homework: 
  • switch off the sound and watch the video; as you read its subtitles in English, try to imagine what the conversation will sound like in Spanish. Pay attention to its slang and colloquial language
  • write a new title for the film and explain why you think yours is better
  • write a message to your class tutor explaining why you think you should/shouldn´t see and discuss this video in class
  • turn the sound on and watch it again. Believe me, it is worth it!


    Start the weekend with a smile!

    Note:  I first saw this video in Trafegando Ronseis, a blog that I truly recommend
