PROCEDURE

I. Lead-in

• Read through the sentences with the class. Check that students understand any new words, e.g. llama, tractor.
• Students work in pairs or as a class, discussing what is wrong with the information in the sentences.

What is wrong with the information in these sentences?

1. A llama is in a market in ancient Greece.
2. A farmer is driving a tractor in ancient Rome,
3. A man is looking at his digital watch in 1912.
4. A male mosquito is sucking someone's blood.

ІІ. Reading

   Play the recording once for students to listen and read the text to check their guesses from Exercise 1.

Although they check films, many 'goofs' or silly   mistakes get past the editors. Sometimes, they are 'factual', like an aeroplane on screen before  it was envented; sometimes, they ate 'continuity' mistakes, like an empty glass is suddenly full in the same   scene. Here are our top film goofs…

Titanic (1997) is about the famous ship that hit an iceberg and sank in 1912. However, you can see a passenger getting into a lifeboat and he's wearing a digital watch - not on the market until              the 1970s!

Gladiator (2000) is set in ancient times. Fast forward your DVD to the part when Russell Crowe is walking home - you can see a modern tractor's tracks in the field!

Although Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings, paid incredible attention to detail when he adapted the book for the cinema, you still come across mistakes. For example, in The Two Towers (2002), although Gimli is a dwarf, he  sometimes appears as tall as Aragom's shoulders!

Strange things happen in King Kong (2005). During the fight between the giant gorilla and the dinosaurs, Ann Darrow is thrown into some water but when she sets out, her hair is dry! And when the character, Herb, goes to the island, he is unshaven. However, when he gets back to the ship, his face is smooth - did he have a shave on Skull Island?

In Spielberg’s Jurassic Park (1993). a scientist finds a dead mosquito. This insect apparently sucked the blood of a dinosaur millions of years age, so the scientist can find out the dinosaur's DNA. There's just one thing wrong - the mosquito has got big antennae and so it is clearly a male. However, only female mosquitoes suck blood! Luckily for the producers, most of the audiences don't know this fact.

Troy is set in ancient Greece. However, at the beginning of the film, there are some llamas in the street, although these animals were unknown in        Europe until the sixteenth   century. Oops!

Answers

1. Llamas were unknown in Europe in ancient Greece.
2. Tractors were not used in ancient Rome.
3. There were no digital watches in 1912.
4. Only female mosquitoes suck blood.

 ІІІ. Post-reading

• Read aloud the first paragraph of the text (Although they check films ... is suddenly full in the same scene). Check that students understand the difference between factual and continuity mistakes.
• Students work individually or in pairs, reading the text again and making a list of the factual and continuity mistakes.

Answer the question:

          Which mistakes are factual and which ones are mistakes of continuity?

 Answers:

Factual: llamas in ancient Greece, tractors in ancient times, a digital watch in 1912, a male mosquito sucking blood.

Continuity: a dwarf appears tall, a woman gets out of water with dry hair, a man's face is unshaven and then shaven.

IV. Vocabulary work
