The video was selected for its relevance to the students' lives and its ability to spark conversation about emotional intelligence, values, and social skills. It uses authentic language about friendship and personal growth, which aligns well with the students' age group and developmental stage. It's part of the learning situation 5.
Learning Objectives:
-
To introduce students to the importance of quality friendships and how they affect self-worth.
-
To teach vocabulary related to friendship (e.g., self-worth, gossip, vulnerability).
-
To foster critical thinking on the role of friendship in personal development and well-being.
-
To provide opportunities for reflection and oral communication on relationships.
Sequence of Activities:
-
Before class: Students will watch the video at home and complete EDPUZZLE questions (vocabulary, comprehension, reflection). They will reflect on key vocabulary like self-worth, gossip, one-sided relationships, and the quality of friendships.
-
In class: Group discussions, role-plays, and further exploration of the friendship themes. Let's see some possible class organization to work on the video.
2. Pair or Group Work: I will create small groups to discuss different sections of the video and share their reflections with the class.
Flipping the classroom allows students to engage with new content at their own pace at home, giving them the time to process the vocabulary and themes. This way ensures that class time is dedicated to interactive tasks, discussions, and reflections, where students deepen their understanding through active engagement.
The flipped learning model worked well as students had the chance to reflect at home before coming to class, allowing more interactive and meaningful discussions during the lesson.
I think next time I will extend vocabulary work by using additional resources like short articles or song lyrics related to friendship.
