    This summer we have been watching all the James Bond movies in chronological order. We expected to take a trip down memory lane, reliving some golden memories from our youth. What has actually happened is quite different! The films have sparked conversation on what is and what isn't expectable behaviour, and a growing concern that the modern world is making us worry about things that didn't affect us remotely growing up.

    • Mention Goldfinger and some of the interesting facts about the movie

    • Talk through the importance of intonation in language

    • Discuss who their favourite James Bond is so far

    • Analyse the behaviour of James Bond and how acceptable it is

    • Talk through if watching James Bond movies growing up and if it potentially affected their view of the world

    • Discuss Ian Fleming and how Bond changed after the casting of Sean Connery

    • Talk through if the personality of Ian Fleming is reflected in the character of James Bond
