This is great! Another addition would be to have students look at a 
transcription of short parts of the video (or the whole thing if someone had 
that kind of time ;) for literacy. *For those of you at Bootcamp, the literacy 
activity would also be a neat way to incorporate movement and text. 

I just attended a Conference on brain research where it talked about two very 
important things in learning: 1. aerobic movement and 2. information entering 
the brain in different ways. As many different ways as possible that we can 
expose our students to the information (seeing-visuals & text, hearing, 
manipulatives, kinesthetic, etc.) the better for their learning and 
understanding. 

I would love to hear what other ideas teachers have about incorporating 
authentic resources (texts, videos, etc.) at ALL levels in an organic way in 
class. It's great how your ideas are feeding off of each other as well! 

Awesome!

Asunto: [ola] Texting and driving lesson
 


Happy Monday!

I am always looking for ways to incorporate videos and authentic resources in 
my classroom, and I love this PSA about texting and driving from 
AT&T:https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=oAH_mQVuLPo

Tomorrow in Spanish III, we are going to watch the video 2 or 3 times through 
and discuss familiar and key vocab words, then I am going to have pairs come up 
with lists of "Actividades que no se debe hacer a la vez." This idea came from 
an idea that someone had posted on the listserv about listing things that do or 
don't go together, so a shout out to you, whoever you are! Then, I will have 
each student create a PSA poster that roughly follows the format of the video, 
using their favorite pair of activities that don't go together. For example, 
"Correr y usar tijeras a la vez es peligroso. Puede esperar."

Something I'm working on in my planning is what kinds of activities work best 
to accompany videos and authentic resources... if folks have feedback on 
tomorrow's lesson plan or what you do in your classes when interacting with 
these kinds of resources, I would love to hear it!

Cuidense,
Emily
