ED PUZZLE ACTIVITY

 ED PUZZLE 

Reflection on the use of ed-puzzle and the activity

I chose this video because we are actually learning vocabulary related to jobs and occupations, it suits the planning properly and we can use it as a real resource.

The learning objectives: learning vocabulary and expressions about jobs and occupations is essential for students of any age, young and adults, learning about this topic will enable children to talk about what jobs their family members do. They can also talk about their own interests and what they want to be when they grow up and talk about the places of work or even prepare for job interviews, in the case of our adult students.

First, we are going to talk about being a teacher and my own experience with this job. Then we are giving new vocabulary, writing, Reading, and spelling names of jobs they all know, other occupations, and their own jobs (before being retired). Later, we are going to try to find sentences to describe these all jobs, using the new vocabulary and the dictionaries. Finally, we will make a dictation with all the information given before.

In the second part of the session, we will introduce the video from Ed puzzle and we will explain, in detail, the way to approach it.

What went well and the students really enjoy the experience was the video itself and how to learn, practice and develop new vocabulary and expressions in such a different way so interactive and funny. They really enjoy the possibility of getting real resources on the net.

Next time I will improve this, doing shorter videos, making the process lighter, and trying to include different kinds of questions on my own. That is what it is useful for, to adapt authentic material in our classes or set it as homework, if we want to experiment with flipping our classes and carry out post-listening tasks in class.

The video we used and edited was this:
