What is Project-Based Learning?
The DemoIt's always recommended to do an example of whatever you ask the students to do in class. This does a few things: 1. Helps the students have a clear idea of what they should do. 2. Gives them a little added motivation because they saw that you did one first. 3. Leads by example. In Jesse's example tutorial, he teaches you how to spin a pen around your thumb. This is a simple action that nearly anybody can learn how to do, and it can be given by using clear step-by-step instruction. Lesson PlanLESSON: Create a Tutorial (video) OBJECTIVES:a. To give accurate instruction to do something b. Build useful vocabulary and fluency expressions c. Learn how to make better photographs LEVEL:Teens or Adults (Blue Belt or Above) TIME:20-30 minutes ACTIVITY: Class Structure · Choose if you want this project to be group or individual · Introduce the topic and your tutorial (or Jesse’s from the video lesson) · Work through the worksheet and have students assess their Instagram or Gallery photos using the vocabulary. · Teach the expressions for giving instruction and have students use the worksheet when they prepare their tutorial. TIPS: · Keep the intended audience in mind. If the intended audience is IG (vertical), less than a minute. If it’s YouTube or Facebook, 2-4 (horizontal) minutes. · Give students time to work through the language. · Students can write a script or an outline with target sentences. · Less is more. The idea is for students to work through how to explain these with little instruction or input from the teacher. Good luck!
