A NARROW ESCAPE (MANUEL FERNÁNDEZ)

  •  


This video can be suitable for the 5th grade of Primary. Subject: Natural Science.

First, we tell our students that we have found an amazing video that we have never seen before (If we show excitement they will be more easily engaged with the activity).

Then, we show them just a frame of the video in which they can see the sea/lake, the kayak and a flock of birds.
The teacher can ask them some questions so that students can try to predict what the video is about, questions like:

What kind of place can you see? Does it belong to your city? Why? Why not? What elements can you see?

The most likely answers will be: It is the sea, I can see birds, it is not Burgos as I can see the sea and there´s no sea in Burgos, In the middle I see someone using a kayak…

Just immediately, we will resume the video and let our students watch the moment in which the whale jumps out of the water and the teacher will ask students to explain what has happened and what they think will happen next (retelling + prediction).

After their guesses, I will explain what has happened and telling them that the woman who was attacked by the whale was ok we will introduce the Science topic: endangered species and loss of habitats.
NOTE: We will mute the video as the witness of the video uses some “swearing words”.
