What are the two most important key themes?
Where can we find this? Are there more seasons/sequels?
Do you know if the actor did his own stunts?

"That's an interesting question. I didn’t research that, but I did learn that..."
"I’d have to look that up, but I think…"

That's not easy to answer. I think I need some time to think about that.

Your actual presentation = A Lucky Dip
You can't choose which question you have to answer:
For the presentations, I am going to cut the questions into separate strips of paper and put them in a cup.
When it is your turn to speak, a peer draws one or two random questions from the cup.
You will also get a question that you most likely won't know the answer to. This way, you get to practice using the "If You Don't Know the Answer" phrases (see cheat sheet).
Remember: Using a phrase from the cheat sheet correctly gives you bonus points!
