Lesson Plan
Note: These video quizzes can be used at any stage of a lesson plan or stand alone as a lesson. Since this tool is so flexible, I'll give an example of a lesson plan for a mid-level ESL class exploring the topic of different cultures.
Warm-up: KWL Chart
Students copy a KWL chart in their notebook with these questions above it:
What do you know about the different cultures in your community? What would you like to know about the different cultures in your community?
Students fill out the K (know) and W (What?) sections and share what they wrote in small groups.
Tell the students that they'll discuss different cultures in the US.
Put a map of the world on the board. Ask the students, "From which countries do many people in the US come from?"
"What type of food can you find in our city?"
"What languages do people speak in our city?"
Write the definition of 'culture' on the board: "The shared beliefs, values, customs, and ways of life that a group of people learn and pass on to future generations."
"Let's talk about our cultures with each other."
Students will have a small group discussion about their cultures. Questions might look something like this:
1. If your friend described you to a stranger, what would they say?
2. How are you similar to your mother or father?
3. How are you different from your mother or father?
4. What's your favorite thing in the world?
5. What kind of food do you like?
They ask each other questions and have conversations based on the other students' answers.
Students are regrouped to share what they learned about their classmates.
Video quiz: The teachers publishes an Edpuzzle about different cultures in the US and assigns it to the class.
Extension: Students can create an Edpuzzle quiz for their classmates using a different Youtube video about cultures.
