Monsters University: Modal for Advice - Should (not), Ought (not) to

This is one of my favorite animated features. I love the characters and the plot. It is incredibly funny. This segment shows a stereotyped librarian and the way she acts when somebody disturbs her. I used this scene to have students use should (ought to) in a contextualized way. I think this scene is hilarious.

I. Talk to a partner:

What are the characteristics of a librarian? Make a list of the qualities one must/mustn't have in order to be a good librarian.
