This week I was informed that I was the winner of the First Lesson Competition promoted by Pearson Longman website. Teachers from all over the world sent lesson plans to take part in the contest and I won with the following activity, based on the movie The Devil Wears Prada.
The Devil Wears Prada
Answer the questions as you watch the second scene from the film (from 3’25” to 10’15”)
1 – Describe Andrea’s clothes and appearance and compare to the other girls in the office.
2 – Why did Emily laugh when Andrea said she wanted to work there?
3 – Who’s Miranda? How can you describe her physically and psychologically?
4 – Why did everybody get nervous when Emily got a message? What did they start to do?
5 – What happened during the job interview with Andrea? Was Miranda interested in her?
