This movie is one of the best ever. It is creative and critical at the same time. This scene shows people in a future that is so automatized that the inhabitants of the colony don’t have to make any effort to get what they need, so everyone is extremely fat! Both adults and kids will enjoy the segment.
Before watching the movie segment:
1) What’s your opinion about living in a time in which all your activities were performed by robots and machines?
3) What would the consequences be if people didn’t have to exercise at all during the whole day?
FLOATING ARMCHAIRS – COMMUNICATION – ROBOTS – SCHOOL – MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION – LUNCH TIME – BEAUTY PARLORS – CLOTHES – LEISURE TIME
1) Do you think people will be happier in the future, according to the movie?
2) Will the future like it was presented in the movie a possible reality? Why (not)?
3) How do you think life will be like in 2642?
Kinesthetic Game:
Group Work: Make a list of activities of things people will do in the year 2100, but that they don’t (can’t) do nowadays. Write at least 10 sentences. Be creative!
Now act out what you wrote down, whereas the other groups write down sentences, saying what the people you mimed will do in 2100.
Finally, the groups read what they came up with out loud, and you check who got closest to what had originally acted out.
How to develop your own video activity:
Assessing: Will
– Choose a segment in which the future is shown in a way that it is completely different from the present world.
– Prepare brainstorming discussion questions to activate schemata.
– Play the segment and have sts predict the future using “will”.
– You may provide the students with key words to observe during the segment.

Hi Cláudio!
You can’t imagine how satisfied I feel seeing your blog like this, so complete, so gripping and attracting so many people from so many different places.
I’m going to use this video segment with my 5B on Thursday in the MIMIO Room and will let you know how it went. We are studying future tenses in this first unit.
