Miranda - UK Culture - Date 1/3

The first question is about the characters, and asks the student to match four characters (Benji, Gary, Stevie, and Tilly) with a description of their relationship to Miranda (Miranda's cousin, Miranda's crush, Miranda's friend who manages the shop and Miranda's friend from boarding school).

Then there is a series of multiple choice questions, including the time in the clip where the answer can be found:

What does Miranda’s mum want Miranda to do? (00.10) 
Move out of home/ Get married / Go shopping

What did Miranda “blow her inheritance” on? (00.25) 
A holiday to Malaysia / A restaurant / A joke shop

Why doesn’t Stevie believe Miranda’s excuse for being late to work? (02.00) 
Miranda lives upstairs / Stevie also came to work by train / Miranda drives to work

Why is Stevie upset? (04.30) 
The delivery is wrong / The delivery is late / The delivery hasn’t arrived

What does Miranda say Stevie is too small to do? (04.45) 
Be allowed into Thorpe Park / Ride a bike in the park / Go on all the rides at Thorpe Park

What sport does Miranda say she does? (07.15) 
Swimming / Gymnastics / Running

What news do Miranda’s friends have? (09.25) 
They are pregnant / They are married / They are engaged

I then decide to ask some more detailed questions about their reactions to the clip, which we can then discuss and compare in the class:

What five adjectives would you use to describe... Miranda? Miranda’s mum? Stevie? Tilly? Gary?

What advice would you give to Miranda about Gary?

What (if anything) did you think was funny? Did you enjoy the clip? Why / why not?

Why do you think her show is popular?
