Down page there are the examples of the possible variants to organize the Round Tables. Scan them, if necessary use. Make a Round Table model leaning back the following patterns:

 

Round Table Talk

Pattern 1. Brave Heart.

1. Your task: The advantages and disadvantages of the script (is it true to real facts, whether there are too many battle scenes, too much blood or v.v. too much love etc.);

2. Your task: The cast (if you were a director, whom would you invite?);

3. Your task: Sophie Marceau (was she worth inviting);

4. Your task: Mel Gibson as an actor. Is he OK in directing);

5. Your task: The triangle of Long Shanks – the king of England, his son and the princess (who was the winner at last, who fall, who cheated?);

6. Your task: The Scotch. Their appearance, behavior, life conditions, customs etc. Are they coincide you imagine them to be?

7. Your task: The Camera Work. Was it worth Oscar?

8. Your task: The first and the second love of William Wallace;

9. Your task: If the movie ended happily, your attitude would change?

10. Your task: The final episode. The injustice or reality? Describe your feelings;

11. Your task: Personal sacrifice in the name of love or in the name of country;

12. Your task: The “first night” restrictions. The scene of Wallace′ s friend wedding. Describe the faces;

13. Your task: The “first battle” episode. Did it come up to your expectations?

14. Your task: The “Killing the murderer of Wallace′ s first wife” episode. What was the purpose: the revenge or war beginning?

15. Your task: You are the Round Table Speaker. Think of no less than 20 notions to the audience. Be ready to lead the table. Be ready to fulfill the pauses. Be ready to prepare the introductory and final short speeches. Your work would be given a definite plus, if you succeed (A certain advice for you: try not to utter your replicas by heart. Prepare the folder with all the necessary words in written form. It will be easier for you to lead the round table and the form of your conference will be better);

16. Your task: William′ s childhood. What are your ideas of children casting in the film?

17. Your task: Was it worth attacking England knowing beforehand that the victory was a myth?

18. Your task: Patrick McGeehan as “Red”, William′ s best friend. Do you think him to be a real Scotch? His appearance! Ignorance, naivety, devotedness, sincerity, power – do these qualities correspond the hero?

19. Your task: You are a journalist. Be ready to ask at least 15 “puzzled” questions (one for each of the reporters) to the auditory. You have to compound a statistics of people who adore the movies and of those who dislike it. You are not to show your personal attitude. You are to find out the people opinion only. (Be ready to produce your article with a title.) Your work would be given a definite plus, if you succeed;

20. Your task: You are a counter. You have to write praise or a prosecution article. You have to decide who won in today′ s Round Table. Be ready to name at least 5 candidates who prepared the best “opinion report”. You are to decide who will have a credit plus. (Take sheets of paper in order to fix down everything you guess is worth fixing. Be ready to produce your article with the title). Your work would be given a definite plus, if you succeed.
