Edpuzzle about a short story

I chose this video as it's a short story, supported with images (which are also attractive to Primary Education students) and with an easy vocabulary range.

The learning objectives are:

  • Global understanding of the story.
  • Understanding of particular details within the story.
  • Dealing with ordinal numbers.
  • Dealing with Past Simple verbs.
  • Dealing with feelings.

Previous activity: students match vocabulary of the lesson using wordwall.net and solve a word search in pairs.

Post activity: students are encouraged to invent a second part of the story in pairs. They can use Vocaroo to record the story (only audio).

The most successful aspects of this activity were its simplicity, as students' attention was high and their interest too. Successful oriented questions in Edpuzzle was another key point. Working in pairs for the post activity was another crucial decision, as some students are less capable than others, so peer help is a positive resource.

Next time, should be interesting to let the students add more questions to the same story, with the aim of go deeper in the listening comprehension and foster more linguistic skills, such as writing.
