Using 'March of the Penguins' in ESL Class

Using movies in ESL:
I like to show movies as an adjunct to my regular English class, in a remote rural part of India. This movie is a great one for early in the year, because even if the students can't yet follow the narration, they will be amazed and charmed by the movie. My students come from rural families without satellite TV, so they've seen few or no nature documentaries before and are always impressed with this one. Plus it's got drama, romance, thrills, danger, and a straightforward plot ... though as somebody said here, it's hard to tell the characters apart :)

What's good about it is that it is easy to follow. I pause from time to time and ask questions about what has been happening: "How far do they have to walk?" or "Is that the mother or the father?" and the students with better English will answer, which clarifies it for those who couldn't follow.

As a follow-up teaching activity, I wrote the whole cycle in about 12 sentences in the simple present tense (suitable since it happens every year). I cut those up, and small groups of students put them in order and then compare with other groups.

My students are from a socially conservative Asian society and amazingly enough I find the mating scene a bit embarrassing when I watch it with students, as it is so visually sensuous, and the music helps. None of the girls hides their heads or flees the room though, as I have seen with human romantic scenes, so I guess it is acceptable in this culture.

I'd like to hear any other suggestions on how to use this in class.
