In 4th of Primary, we are currently learning about daily routines and times. The video used and modified with EdPuzzle, will help my students to practice and consolidate the contents taught in class as well as learn new vocabulary and social language from the conversation that occurs on the video. I have to mention that the video exceeds the 4 minutes but to cut it, it had meant to cut the end of the conversation.
The objectives will be:
-
To practice the vocabulary about daily
routines.
-
To learn new vocabulary about to daily
routines.
-
To listen and understand messages in
an oral interactions about daily routines.
-
To learn about social language used
in every day interactions.
This activity will be
easily related to the Evaluation Criteria 2.1 - To identify
the essential information of oral texts, transmitted orally or by technological
means, short and simples, about daily and specific topics where experiences,
necessities and interests are expressed in different contexts such as tales,
stories, personal anecdotes, etc.
Due to the current situation of pandemic, this year
I have practice with my students, from the very beginning, to work using online
platforms, like Google Classroom, so they are used to watch videos sent in
advance. Like I said before, vocabulary and structures have been learned in the
classroom through online flashcards, listen to the unit story and other several
activities. Before sending the video, expectations and purposes were explained
to the pupils. As a post-learning activity, I always love to have them make
their own dialogues using everything they have learn (in a simple way, they are
fourth graders).
Motivation is always a great value when working with
online activities and, on top of everything, they have the chance to go over
the video as many times as they may need. EdPuzzle is such a useful tool since
it allows us to cut, edit and add questions and/or content to any of the huge
amount of videos we have on YouTube.
One way to improve and to have the most of it, it
would be a good idea to ask the students (at some point, maybe in older
courses) to make their own EdPuzzle, adding their own questions and, even,
sharing with the other students.

Congratulations for this video! I consider that it is interesting to review the daily routine and the hours. Furthermore, students pay attention and they are motivated. It is another way of reviewing this content.
ReplyDeleteIn relation with your blog, from my point of view is easy to navigate, intuitive. The only aspect that could be improved is to add a little color to the background, but congratulations again for your blog and your activities!
