A few weeks ago Ms Gallus introduced us to PodCards, which turns out to be very useful if you have to prepare a session last minute. I decided to create a short session on US-cultural studies, in particular on The Simpsons:
The lesson starts with a youtube video as an opener to get the students’ attention towards the sessions topic:
After that, they are supposed to fill in the worksheet (which was also provided by PodCards) using either their knowledge or the internet for research.
I decide only to have them work on Activity 3 (listening to an online mp3 an fill in gaps in the text) if there was enough time left, as it seemed to me that the speaker’s voice and the information he gives on The Simpsons would not be able to hold the interest of the students for very long.
What do you think about this lesson (considering that I had only about 20 minutes to prepare for it)?
Feel free to comment!
