Inspiration 2 - Twilight class 1 04/08

Considering how Engage T1 handle the activities and evaluating their mood, I decided to create lighter material to work with this group in particular, because their linguistic level is lower (beginning 3th semester of English) and another younger teen group - 11 to 13.
-For the song, I worked with Decode the message game. The message introduces the beginning of the story. This activity was well taken and effective for them.
-I worked with the trailer. I played once and they watched. Then, played again without sound for them to brainstorm as many words as possible in two groups. I gave each group a colorful tag board to register the words.
-match the answers to the questions. This was also a good activity because they had to find their pairs while practicing asking questions.

I prepared other activities that time didn't allow to use. We took mostly an hour class to do those activities. For homework, I gave them the decode vocabulary to study and twilight profile to research and complete.

I didn't give them a questionaire to answer or asked them questions. But most of the students went out excited and pleased with the activities. I need to prepare a questionaire for our second meeting (first 10 minutes of the movie session)

Ask about the profile. Who did? If many students didn't do it. Give one more week. If some did, divide them in two groups and allow them time to ask and answer questions. Model on the board couple of examples.
