Ideas for using videos in class

1. Predict what's going to happen.

• turn volume off, play parts of the video, stop and brainstorm with the whole class what  they think is going to happen. Play and check their predictions.

2. Taking notes / reconstructing scene

• Students watch the video and take notes of what happens in the scene. In pairs students compare their notes and write a description of the whole scene. Then they read each other descriptions.

3. Backs to the board

• Turn volume off and get students into pairs.One of them faces the screen. The one facing the screen describes what's happening in the scene.Teacher pauses the video and students swap places. Students write down a summary of the whole scene.
