This movie has a touching message and is a dramatic comedy. The main character has to go through several tasks in order to become a better person and receive an ultimate gift as inheritance. This scene is perfect to practice the use of conjunctions, in this case contrasting the use of so x because and since.

Above all, I appreciate your wonderful work. I knew your blog last year, and this is amazingly great. I’ve already used one of yours last autumn. My students loved it!!
I want to use one again in my classes, but all the video clips do not work. I don’t know why. Do I need a special program to watch it? Last year it worked, so I cannot find the reason.

Thanks for your kind words. I really don’t know what could be happening that the videos don’t work with you. You don’t need any special program to watch them – to download, you need realplayer – since they are Blogger’s own device. I just checked them all after I read your post, but they’re all fine. Check it out in another computer to see how it goes. I’m sorry, I can’t help you out with this issue.
Me, too – I am not able to get to the seg6.pbworks.com page (where the download is). My computer says the page can't be reached. I can get to others (like seg10.pbworks.com for Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda 🙂 ). Oh well, we'll see if it plays on my school computer. It should – because that computer is newer! 🙂
Thank you for all of your videos and activities!!!

It has been fixed.
Thank you SO much! I was able to access the video. I teach 12th grade and the kids had a great time discussing the questions! They had a lot to say about the scene. Thanks again – Muito Obrigado!
