THE MOST TRULY GENEROUS PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO GIVE SILENTLY WITHOUT EXPECTING TO BE REWARDED OR PRAISE (BLANCA HOZ)

 


Tell the story.

Grade: 6th grade

Aims of the activity:

- Use imagination and develop creativity - Develop language, communication and social skills - Develop narrative skills - Expand vocabulary and improve oral expression - Increase interest in children's literature, oral storytelling and narrative creation (reader promotion) - Encourage literacy - Exercise mental flexibility and agility to create new, original and valuable things (encourage innovation)

Metodology:

Tell the story to your students before showing them the video. You must prepare a narrative text before class.
We can tell our story such as : It is an advertisement for the Christmas lottery that was very famous a few years ago.The person who appears looks like a magician and is doing good things wherever he goes. On the screen, we can see fantastic black and white image.

After taking some speculations from students, show them the video. Then for homework, ask students to go online and find another blunder video that they like – there are thousands to choose from.

Ask students to prepare a story just as you did. In class, invite them to share their stories.

I showed them some words and expressions which appeared in the video and made them talk about what they thought the video was going to be about. After we had discussed about it, I showed them the images of some of the words they did not know. Then I showed them the video up to the minute when Diana, the witness, talks. At that moment I just allowed them to listen to the woman, but not to see her. Then we talked about this woman. What was she like? What did she do for a living? What was she wearing and so on. Then we watched the video. I can tell you, all my students have used the word"hoodie" in their exams. By the way, there is a song related to this video which I play sometimes at the end of the session just for fun. I send you the link. You can find the lyrics here: https://www....
