The Great Gatsby

“He had a grand vision for his life since he was a boy.”

This was our end-of-year project, from a film trailer, through subtitling to writing a poem. I hope you enjoyed it! I am sure you will watch some video clips or trailers during the summer. Try to write the subtitles. 

Have a very nice summer!

Throughout this project we focused on fiction vocabulary, personality vocabulary, global listening comprehension, reading paragraphs, and finally on listening for details and creating real subtitles to a movie trailer.
