South Africa.... Rugby..... Sport..... Nelson Mandela: "Invicturous" it is really great, an absolut must ;o))
- you �ll find lots of work sheets here .... and where-ever you google to ;o)))
Good luck.... and Happy New Year !! edit: woooohhhh: I�m so sorry: that�s not the right spelling of the name of the film .... further more : I can�t get it right: heeeeeelp please  you�ll see: the film makes a great thing ... not only on sport ;o)) - you also have � Billy Elliot� - �Goal� ( 1 and 2) .... all very different... depending on YOU and your students ;o)))
Happy New Year !!!

Hi, Esther, Pelletine �s suggestion Invictus is a good choice.It �s about a truely great man, (Nelson Mandela, Nobel Peace Prize winner) who, as the president of South Africa, ingeniously used sport (The 1995 Rugby World Cup) in his endeavours to unite a diverse and troubled country. Directed by Clint Eastwood and staring Matt Damon. BTW the movie is based on fact.
Enjoy.

I followed a suggestion on the forum here a few weeks ago and I decided to play Goal 2 with my students. They just loved it, and even the girls said we could see Goal 1 because they found it very interesting. Both films are great for teens. I just chose Goal 2 because it �s focussed on Real Madrid and most of my students support this team. |

Hello Esther,
Bend It Like Beckham is an obvious choice for me ....it deals with sports but with many other social issues too.
I worked on it last year but at a lower level but I �m sure it would be an enjoyable project at any level.
Hope you are well and ready to celabrate the start of 2013 in a fun way,
Best wishes,
Esther |

Thanks again all of you for your wisdom and advice! I already used "Goal 2" with my KET class. Richmond has a good reader that goes with the movie. Back to the tough part of decision making for my intermediate class. Happy New Year everyone! Esther |

I would opt for Invictus as well with Mandela, South Africa etc. There are plenty of worksheets about that subject.
