Watch it. Then show it. Great lesson!

News or Talk show Interviews with influencial people CAN be interesting!

Students can be engaged while watching videos where there is mostly just dialogue.
For example a video like this can capture kids attention.
Some ideas how:

  • Watch the video with the students
  • Pause frequently and ask clarifying questions about the vocabulary the people are using.
  • Ask students questions about the events that are being discussed. Pause and Explain the events if students are unfamiliar.
  • Jot down questions while watching.

At the end……

  • Play review game with students and ask them to predict the future based on what they have heard or ask their opinion.
  • Instill pride in students that what they learned from the interview or news clip or documentary is important because………
  • Tell them that knowing this information makes them unique because they can help others understand……….
  • Explain to them that in the future seeing this and knowing this information will be beneficial because……….
  • Reward with praise for their participation

They are engaged!They learn! We bond!

Great lesson without much planning!
