High School - 23 - Valentine's Day
« on: March 14, 2008, 10:44:16 am »
It's White Day today and it's as good a day as any to do that Valentine's Day lesson that I missed because the students were graduating.

Valentine's Day:
  • Native Speaker gives students a pop quiz on Valentine's Day. 10 minutes.
  • Native Speaker goes over the pop quiz.  5 minutes.
  • Native Speaker gives demonstration of short movie. 5 minutes.
  • Students perform story worksheet by describing the plot of short movie.  15 minutes.
  • Students perform comic worksheet by creating their own comic based on a Valentine's Day criteria.  15 minutes.

Notes:
  • The kids know about Valentine's Day but don't know the differences between Korean and Everywhere Else.
  • Since time ran out fairly quickly I gave the kids a choice between Movie activity and Comic activity.  When they wanted Movie we watched it twice together and then I left the Movie looping while they reconstructed the plot.
  • The foreign language film made a nice change from South Park.
  • The smart kids managed to get some decent plots down but the slow kids had to be prodded painfully with ‘And what happens next?’
  • This movie plot activity could really work well on creative kids; the next level is to take stills from the movie and have the kids make story boards of a possibly new and different story – but that's way beyond the level that I'm dealing with.

I used the movie A Quoi Ca Sert L'Amour since it's foreign (the kids can't 'cheat'), it's an animated summary of love and it's one of my personal favorites from one of my personal favourite animation houses.  You can download the *.mov file or you can use the one on [noembed]youtubed[/noembed]:

I used the comics from Ctrl Alt Del, introduced in my Comic and Cartoon Lesson.//

More information about my lessons can be found here.

One thing that I think is missing here are examples of our students work.  I would love to see an accompanying forum to lessons, maybe titled 'student work' or 'the refrigerator', that demonstrates how our lessons work with the class.  But I also have to acknowledge the effort that it takes in getting something scanned and uploaded from our school too; I have ~200 of these valentine day stories and there's no way I'm going to scan all of them. 

But for your enjoyment and curiosity I have attached is the work of the brightest student in my second grade, Mr. Chu Sung Hyeon.

And an example of the comic work, as written and performed by Team 6.

Can anyone point me to a link for season 4 episode 15, the one where Ralph falls in love with Lisa. I found a short clip on Youtube but can't find the whole episode. Cheers

You will have to stream it though, so I would load it before hand.

Great lesson plan! I rejigged the movie worksheet for my classes as they have a really hard time writing and this is the last class of the year for most of them so effort is at an all-time low. Now they just have to put sentences in order and give an opinion on the video.

Oh no, please don't tell me this is too good to be true. Excuse my decided ignorance, but the link with the Korean subtitles takes me to a blank-ish screen. I searched for the episode and clicked on it but nothing really happened?.... any tips? Sorry and thank you!

Ditto. I can see the title banner, the sidebar on the left, but the rest of the space is blank to me.

It seems like some kind of log-in is required?
