Cut first and tie them up !

Students from Tecnico en Cocina were learning basic vocabulary about clothes, parts of the body and prepositions of place. In order to know whether they learnt it or not, we did a curious but funny activity to bond them in certain way. First, they were split up in three different teams, each one with a big piece of paper and some markers. They had to draw 15 different clothes and to put their names in front of each one. After that, they started to cut off everything and put those pieces inside a bag, which had to be passed to the next team. The next team had to look for each drawing and each letter in order to tie them up. They learnt a lot a understood the importance of writing and pronunciating properly.

Final Product! My Video!

This is one of the final products that Students of level 8th have made. Creativity was the key, so students and the teacher came together and worked as a team in order to learn how to edit videos, correct possible mistakes in the second language, check pronunciation, and so on.  First, we searched on the web and followed some instructions form YouTube channel about how to edit a video. Then we chose a program, install and finally, we practiced with a few clips, music, pictures. This is an exercise to be confident about what are we doing.

At the end, we planned a scene with titles, a speech, music, effect etc. Next we, started to edit and practiced a lot of pronunciation. At the end, students showed to the group the video and talked about their experiences. I was impressed about this videos. They did a very good job! Nice shot!
