Hawaii’s North-Shore Banzai Pipeline is no place for a girl surfer.  Right?  Not if you’re Anne Marie Chadwick (Kate Bosworth), contender for the woman’s world-surf championship.  But can she win the tournament, take care of her younger sister Penny, and handle a surprise romance?  Fortunately, she has help and a splash of tough love from her best friend, Eden (Michelle Rodriguez).  Blue Crush is a breathtaking adventure that brings the tall dangers and tubular triumphs of the pro-surf world up close and personal. Rated PG-13 (104 min.) mike laib 2010.

Classroom Tips:

1. Preview both the movie and its lesson. Lesson and movie are in the same sequence.
2. Within the lesson, decide which quotes, questions, and vocabulary to focus on. Highlight or cut-and-paste content you plan to use.
3. Estimate how you'll use available time for both watching and discussing the movie.
4. Remember: Most questions on the lesson are easy for a native speaker of English to answer, so the movie itself is the answer key.
