This activity was created for Intermediate High language learners enrolled in an online class.
Learning Objectives: Students will be able to
- Recognize supporting details
- Provide feedback to a peer regarding supporting details
Modes: Presentational Speaking
Materials Needed: Student-created promotional videos, Handout, Rubric
Procedure:
- Learners must create a promotional video for an upcoming festival in their towns, taking care to include enough supporting details so that anyone viewing the video is able to make a plan to attend the festival.
- Learners will review the work created by at least one other person in the class. It is important that the work be comprehensible to the reviewer; take care to ensure that learners are grouped according to proficiency level.
- Peer reviewers will look for evidence regarding the detailed and descriptive nature of the videos created by their peers. In order to do so, they will use the handout. If you have not done so before, it is important to model appropriate evaluation of a similar text for learners.
- To wrap up their evaluations, learners will use a rubric for presentational communication to evaluate the work of their peers. They must make sure to justify each score that they grant with specific evidence from the videos that they reviewed. If you have not already done so, it is important to take time to help learners to understand the expectations put forth by the rubric; break apart any academic language and provide examples of student-created material that would score well.
Notes: This activity was originally created for an online class but could easily be adapted to face-to-face contexts. For examples, learners could upload their videos to Google Drive or a course management system such as Blackboard or Canvas.
