This segment is the beginning of the movie and you can assess the simple present tense in a contextualized manner. The movie is great and very easy for beginners.
Think about a typical morning of yours. Check all the activities that are true for you after you wake up in the morning. After that, ask your partner questions about him/her and check the ones which are true for him/her.
( )You ( ) Your friend ( ) Kingman wear slippers
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman turn on the TV
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman have vegetables for breakfast
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman make fruit juice
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman read the newspaper
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman work out
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman wear a uniform
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman put on some makeup
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman wear a helmet
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman play with the dog
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman play sports
( ) You ( ) Your Friend ( ) Kingman listen to music
Now watch the movie segment and check the ones which are true for Kingman.
Finally, write sentences about Kingman, saying what he does and what he doesn’t do in the morning.
Ex: Kingman wears slippers.
Kingman doesn’t listen to music.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope you have enjoyed the activities. See you around.
Dear Claudio,
I love your activities! It is a wonderful job what you've done!
But… how can I enlarge the size of the video?
Dear leila,
Thanks. About the video screen size, I don't think you can enlarge it at blogger. You can download the segment, though, and enlarge it in your own computer. You must have realplayer for that. Let me know if you managed it, OK? See you.
Thanks a lot! It worked with the Realplayer! =)
I'm glad you have managed it. Keep posted!
