Netflix is releasing the second (long-awaited) season of Wednesday just as your 6e students are about to learn how to describe people thanks to the Addams Family (File 1, Welcome to the manor) in our brand-new Shine Bright 6e.
The following activities mainly focus on reading, writing and speaking skills.
They can be used as a follow-up work to the activities in Shine Bright 6e, or on their own in order to help the students practise and / or revise not only moral and physical description but also the genitive and voicing their opinion in a guided way.
In an optional second part, a short activity based on a visual understanding of a video will be the perfect transition with the chapter about school (File 2, A day in Year 7).
Ready to visit Wednesday and her family? Let’s go!
