2010/11 In-School Film Series and Culture Program is here!

 Welcome back! The Italo-American Association of Trieste will continue  the in-school student film series and cultural education program this year, in collaboration with elementary schools, middle and high schools.  As before, our program includes  a "lesson plan" of the film to support  classroom activities, the free loan of the DVDs (see enclosed catalog) and a lesson with a mother tongue classroom teacher, for a discussion activity after the movie.

The Association offers two packages:

€uro 6	€uro 9
à  2 films +   post-film lessons with a native English speaking teacher.	à 2 films + post -film lessons with a native English speaking teacher.
	à a lecture on American Culture, with a native English speaker.

Topics in American Culture are: Culture and traditional festivals in the USA, A Day in the Life of an American Teenager,  American Cooking, American Sports, or any other topic of interest of the teachers / students.

In addition,  we offer a discount on an AIA membership card (€ 25) to teachers, which includes entrance to 2 film series (9 films in original language at the Ariston and 11 American TV series at the Cappella Underground). It  is important to us that we continue to demonstrate our support for teachers. Thank you for your continued support of the Association.

Finally, I ask you to kindly forward this letter to the English coordinator to:

a)     ensure that all teachers have received the selection of movies in your school

b)     set dates for the movie and the lessons with the teacher of the Association

Please send an e-mail to janinesprague@hotmail.com, or call Janine  at 3297883810 for reservations.

Reservations are upon request.  Once interest has been shown by one teacher, assistance will be given to coordinate dates and times with other English teachers interested in the same film at the same school.

Thank you in advance for your interest and availability for your kind and I hope to soon collaborate with your institution.
