TubeChop - Funny English Words (01:14)
In a classroom the
video can be used to prompt a lesson. The whole video is a lesson in
itself but in this instance I would want it shorter so it prompts a class
discussion.
In this lesson the objective would be to learn and expand the student’s
vocabulary. Not only are they learning funny words which are not used as
much as high frequency words they are learning the meanings of the words by
using synonyms of the words. The synonyms are often the more high
frequently words. This is a fun way to introduce new words expanding the
vocabulary of the students.
To extend the lesson
from the video I would have each student pick one other word off the list from
the video to describe and to pick one other word that they find funny in the
English language to discuss. By having each student talk about their
words the other students will also learn from each other. They can also
write the words up on the board. From this I could even create another
assignment that would use these words to create a funny story. Farther reinforcing
all the new vocabulary. After practicing the words I can then assess the students with a quick matching of the funny words to the high frequency words that we were practicing.
Your lesson is to have the students learn some high frequency words, but you need an assessment tool to see if they have learned those words.
