This is "Sleepy Hollow" for an A2 level. I like to use Disney's 1949 version of the cartoon and would have students watch this for each section.

This is a wonderful activity and a classic ghost story! I like the idea of matching the pictures with their definitions. However, I think I would find another photo to depict jealousy. The one you have used is a valid example but it might be falling into the category of PARSNIPS. We don't want to reinforce the stereotypes of "men looking at a women's butt" or "girls always jealous of other girls", or at least that was just my reaction.
ReplyDeleteThere was one other part - Part 6 - matching percentages to the adverbs of probability - that I am curious about. I have never seen this type of activity before...Is this a common way to teach students to think about adverbs of probability? I have always thought about it along the lines of "probable, possible, more probable, less possible, etc." but I have never taught it using exact percentages...probably because my brain prefers to avoid math! If this is the way you teach that grammar concept, then your students would know what to do I imagine.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your materials. This is great authentic content for materials and can be used again and again – always good. I think you should add the original source of the story to the end of the materials (and for the main image) – we’ll be looking at copyright and attributing today.
ReplyDeleteA good sequence of tasks that really help to support the authentic text – lots of variet here too. Pictute matching is probably the best way to teach vocabulary (when it’s possible) as it’s so universal and immediate. I do wonder about the copyright of the pictures too – sorry! It’s part of my my job of course to question this.
You’ve got an amazing amount of materials from this subject – I see it could be a mini course in itself. The materials look great too – really professional. Lots of skills being developed and focus on several language areas – really comprehensive . Some nice creative tasks too which studnets will enjoy, I’m sure (drawing the faces after the adjectives, etc.)
Ashley Dresser Hey Ashley! Thank you. I learned the percentage while teaching in China. They were big on that. As for the pictures, I got them off of pexels.com, openartclip.com and public domain.
