Assignment 2

The Assignment 2 was for us to develop lesson plans from videos. We were given Michael Jackson's Earth Song video clip and were allowed to choose another video clip to be edited and used in two different lessons. The first video clip which was the 'Earth song' was very difficult to be used especially its audio as it had no educational value. Teaching primary pupils we have to very careful especially in using the audio with clear and accurate pronunciations. This is because they are novice learners. In that way the video clip was difficult to be used.
On the other hand, the video clip we chose was easy to be used because it was an educational video. This video had clear pronunciation that suited the learners. It was very useful in the listening and speaking activities.
This activity made me realize how important it is for a teacher to choose a teaching material carefully even though it is to be edited. This is because not materials can be appropriate ti the pupils. We must carefully measure the usefulness and appropriateness of the material.
