Bowling for Columbine

Wednesday September 3, 2003
'Bowling for Columbine' is a documentary by Michael Moore that focuses on violence and its causes in the USA. It's a phenomenal documentary that really makes you think. He's also put a teacher's guide to the film online including great lesson ideas that can be easily adapted to an ESL class. The included materials will give you hours of lesson plan material for intermediate to advanced level courses. Here are some related debate ESL lesson plan links:
First World Obligation
Multinationals

I’m sorry but this is pretty useless (then again, I find most of About.com’s pages useless. You talk about ‘him’ and I’m presuming that’s Michael Moore, but you haven’t put the links to his webpage for the lesson plans?

Also the two lesson plans you have listed are not even remotely connected to Bowling for Columbine.

This page, a complete waste of space!
