Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Best story
You're going to write a collective story. Choose a title and write one sentence. When the teacher tells you, you hand it to the next person who adds a sentence. You do this until the story has made it full circle and is returned to you. 

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Famous lines
Dialogue isn't exclusive: characters may say the same things, but mean something entirely different in the context of the scene. Pick one of the below famous lines from literature and film. 


"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
"Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
"Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars."
"Go ahead. Make my day."
