Exclamations in Spanish Lesson Slides

1. This is the lesson slides for a consecutive pair of lessons I did linked to exclamations in Spanish. There’s a few exercises and a Blockbusters game in the 1st part (slides 2-9) and the rest is an ICT suite lesson where I gave my students the chance to write subtitles for a short animation. I set up the lesson by finding a short movie (1-2 mins) and using the print screen button to capture different parts of the movie from youtube. I pasted these onto slides like a storyboard and underneath gave spaces for the children to write what they want the octopuses to say. The advantage of it being a silent film is that the students can get them to say whatever they want and can be really creative and funny. The focus was on using recyclable vocab like commands and exclamations to make the dialogue and after marking the work I chose 3 to show to the rest of the class. I downloaded the movie using a youtube grabber and used movie maker’s caption button to write the subtitles my best 3 students had written. For the teachers….
