ESL Videos for class

I know students can get bored having English class everyday, so one way to mix it up a bit is to show a video in class.  There are a lot of ways you can do it, i.e. take a cartoon or movie from home, download one off of the internet, or ask the students to bring one of their favorites ( in English).  If they do this, then most likely they know the storyline already and that can make it easier for them to follow along.  Ask questions either during or after the movie to check comprehension and you could even make up a board game based on the movie so they can practice speaking afterwards.  There are lots of fun ideas out there, so just decide what would work best for your class and have fun!
