🧩 EDPUZZLE 🧩
I have chosen a video about Present Simple because it´s what I am reviewing with my Year 6 pupils right now. This video is short, not boring, colorful and, very important for my pupils, in Spanish. As I previously said, their level is very low, so I need to use L1 and L2 all the time.
First of all, I sent the video via Classroom, and I told them that they had to watch it at home and write down some notes about important things from the video.
In the classroom, we watched it and they did a brainstorming.
In groups of 4, they had to organise the information in this way: uses of the present simple, structures (affirmative, negative and interrogative), third person (singular), grammar rules when adding “s” and examples of present simple sentences.
The learning objectives for this session were not only to review this tense but also to learn grammar rules when adding “s” to the verb. There is a new boy in the class, so this activity has helped me to know about his previous knowledge in this topic.
The high points of the experience were that my pupils were highly motivated (they love the use of ICTs when learning). They had never used Edpuzzle before, so they were happy to discover a new way of learning. Videos are always a great option to engage pupils. There are some students that show low motivation; they have retaken the academic year, come from unstructured families and don’t like school. With this activity, they have participated and learned a lot, so as a teacher, I´m very happy.
Next time I will try to make sure that everyone has access to the internet and I will choose a shorter video.
