QUESTION 1 USING THE VIDEO HOMELESS: JESUS |
|
|
a) |
-optional- You can stop after all 3 questions have been answered and continue on to the discussion, or as the video is short, you can play it one more time and the students can listen for the answers to the questions one more time. Sometimes students appreciate this, giving them the opportunity to confirm what they have recently covered and to listen with greater clarity. |

|

STEP 1 |
DISCUSSION STUDENTS DISCUSS THE 2 THEMES HOMELESS: JESUS |
|
|
a) |
Place the students into group of 3 or 4 and have them discuss the two questions. Encourage them to give reasons for their points of view, to respond to the other people’s comments, and to explore the themes. |
||
|
C |
STEP 2 |
DISCUSSION OPTIONAL (DIFFERENT) FOLLOW-UPS HOMELESS: JESUS |
|
|
a) |
∙Monitor the various groups, taking note of grammatical, lexical and pronunciation difficulties. Write them on the board and go over them with the students after the discussion. ∙After a set time limit of 10 minutes (for example) or after the speaking has reached its peak, elicit different comments and perspectives from the class. ∙Monitor the groups and if you find that there are a number who agree with the statement and a number who don’t, organize them into two teams for a debate. ∙Continue on with the next video and activity, DST #1-2. RECOMMENDATION: If you plan to do all three videos (DST1- 1 to 3: Jesus, Ron & cancer carefree) in the same class, keep it moving and try not to spend more than 15 or 20 minutes on any of them. This will mean cutting down on the time for some of the discussions or even eliminating some of the elicited preparatory work. |
