Preparation for Workshop #2

1. Bring in your checklist #1 completed 2. Bring in your curriculum, or select something in your curriculum that the video you create can be used for REMEMBER: You must have completed a flip video that you will use for Assignment #2. It should be ready for Workshop #2. This will be a video that you have already uploaded to flip. Remember you uploaded (one) an introduction, and (2) a video of your choice. Some of you are taking many videos. I encourage you to take as many as you want and upload them to flipshare. BUT YOU MUST SELECT ONE TO USE FOR WORKSHOP #2. 3. We are going to be working with this video in Workshop #2. We will DISCUSS how you can create pre listening or viewing activities, viewing activities, post viewing activities and an evaluation for your curriculum. Discuss the activities with your partner in the Discussion for __<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1em;">[|Journal 1] __

Discuss what materials you might develop for the video in these 4 areas: , (1)PRE-ACTVITY if you have a video about weather. Perhaps you will have a handout of vocabulary about the weather. This could be a handout for students that you will upload to your wiki as a pre-listening activity, then the students would watch the video. (2)DURING ACTIVITY Or create a handout that students use while they are watching the video. This handout might be a list of words that the student checks of as he/she listens to the video. (3) POST ACTIVITY : Perhaps you will ask students to model an activity after the video. In other words, if the video talked about weather using a particular language pattern, the students would imitate the pattern by making their own video, or creating an oral presentation.

(4) EVALUATION OF ACTIVITY ; What is your criteria for evaluation of proficiency? How do you measure students' progress and build on their skills?

We will be working in pairs in Workshop #2 so you and your partner can work together to create (1) (2) (3) (4). Talk to your partner before workshop #2. You can send each other email through the wiki.
