Questions about cinema

Last Friday we watched V for Vendetta, a very interesting film which you can borrow from the school library, in case you want to watch it more in detail, you were not able to come to class or you belong to another group.

Now, why not doing this activity so as to practise how to ask and answer questions about films?:

Traditional rhyme for the 5th of November:

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd (or by God's mercy*)
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the Queen!
