Activity with Film Previews

A colleague of mine, Daniela Fernandes, posted an interesting video activity in which students watch the preview of a film and complete a hand-out with information. The same hand-out can be adapted to any film preview. I liked it so much that I asked her if I could share it with you.

Great VIDEO to discuss Racism

This a video shared by a colleague (Heidi Norwig) and another participant of Cultura EDtech course.

It's an interesting animation which can be used to start a discussion about RACISM.

Video Activity: Reported speech

Let me share a nice activity a colleague of mine (EloĆ­sa Paula) and a participant of Cultura EDtech course has posted in her course portfolio.

THe focus of the class was Reported Speech. A student of hers showed her a video in which a little kid gets stuck behind the couch. Then, what she did was, the moment the student showed them the video, she elicited some sentences said by the little boy  and asked the students to REPORT what the little kid said.

This is the video:

Video created by students (WORLD CUP 2010)
