Edpuzzle cinema
In the last few weeks, we are studying in class the topic: “cinema and
movies”, so I have decided to choose two short YouTube videos - from the movies
“Lord of the Rings” and “Spiderman”- which have been cut using Edpuzzle. Apart
from being popular movies for many of my students, my choice is based on the
importance of the dialogues that appear in both scenes. Besides, we can use
them to practise several skills as well as reviewing irregular verbs and other
contents.
The sequence of activities was:
First, the students watched the videos at home
– I flipped the class in this part – to look for possible unknown words or
expressions in the dialogues of both films, and I asked them to write down all
the verbs that appear in both clips too.
Then, we
watched both videos together in class and reviewed the new words and
expressions they have found in the dialogues previously. Afterwards, I wrote in
the whiteboard all the verbs they have written down from the videos at home and
we organised a game with a little ball.
The student who caught the ball thrown by another classmate had to say
the past simple and past participle of one of the verbs written in the
whiteboard until all of them were completed.
Finally, they had to discuss in pairs the
meaning or moral of the dialogues from the film. Moreover, to finish the
lesson, I asked some volunteers to share these reflections aloud for the whole
class.
Overall, students enjoyed a lot the activity
especially because of the videos and the game with the ball. Next time, I´ll
include questions about the dialogues to focus on listening and comprehension although
I will need more than one session for including that too.
