I really liked the explanation of the Edpuzzle activity that Irene prepared for her students. I found it interesting for them in order to know other realities regarding sports, as sports is part of my students lives and they feel really motivated when we work about sports. Moreover, this video is not created for L2 students, but for everybody, so it is a real material that will help them to improve their communications skills.
This way, I edited the video that Irene provided in her post and added notes, multiple-choice questions, filling the gap questions and open questions so they can check their knowledge of the text. Edpuzzle is a tool which allows my low-level students to watch the video as many times as they need, so it is really useful to practice listening skills. Additionally, it helps higher-level students to practice their skills as they can challenge themselves to watch the video just once or twice.
Finally, this activity was developed as a flipped classroom activity. Nevertheless, the pre-listening and post-listening activities were developed in class.
Pre-listening activity: brainstorming regarding the topic "sports" "paralimpics" and "disabilities". In order to help them, we used Quizziz to create vocabulary cards that helped them to relate the new vocabulary and their corresponding images. Finally, We saw the title of the listening and guess what it was going to be about and the topics that the video would discuss.
Listening activity: Each student listened the video at home and answered the different questions that appeared to ensure active engagement. The open questions are really useful to check their understanding. Additionally, photos have been included so students can related the questions with the images and facilitate it to lower-level students. Additionally, feedback has been added in open questions to help them understand the question and their answers.
Post-listening activity: Using the previous video as a basis, students will create an infographic in groups of three looking information about important Paralympic athletes. These athletes were provided by me, but they could choose another one and looked for the information of that person if they wanted. I tried to provide characters of as many sports as possible to show the diversity in sports. After looking for the information with our laptops, they created a physical infographic that was exposed in a Gallery Walk to the rest of the class. Their partners had specific checklists to assess the work of their partners and also they provided feedback highlighting two aspects that they like and, at least, one that could be improved.
