Ciao, Professore!
Ciao, Professore!
Hello, Professor!
DVD in Italian with optional English subtitles.
A complete Italian lesson plan for Ciao, Professore! — ready to open and teach.
A prim northern Italian schoolteacher is accidentally assigned to a rough, chaotic class in a poor Neapolitan village — and everything he thought he knew about education is promptly demolished. Lina Wertmüller's warmhearted comedy is both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly profound about what it means to really reach a student.
Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in Ciao, Professore! and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.
Everything is included: the teacher's guide, student worksheets in Italian, and an answer key.
