For the last week or so, I've been working on a small project with the students. I basically wanted to film them doing a short English Conversation about different topics in different parts of the school. For each of my 5th and 6th grade classes, I have conversation time. During this time, I take 4 students out of one of their other classes (which they love), and have them just talk with me for a while (without the English book, which they also love). I love this time with them, because I get to have more one on one conversations and it's more relaxed. It is during this time, that I made the videos. I created the framework for the conversations and provided lines (not Yusuf's though! : D ), but the students substituted in their own words. Unfortunately, I could not access certain rooms of the school to make videos (like the music room, movie room, or auditorium). Still, making the videos was a lot of fun. Some of the students were shy on camera (although not in class), but still performed well I thought. The students really enjoyed making the videos, and there were MANY outtakes. Hopefully, they are more motivated to learn, for the purpose of making more videos in the future. Below, I have a compilation video of some of the conversations between my 5th and 6th grade students. Enjoy!
