Using Short Video Clips as Speaking and Writing Prompts in Grammar Instruction
A. Use short videos clips as speaking or writing prompts to practice verb tenses, especially past with past continuous. He/She was... (verb) + ing when... They were (verb) + ing when... [|Video clips] B. Provide students a list of words. Invidividually, in pairs, or small groups, students predict the story by writing it, using all the words on the list and a target verb tense. After students compose a paragraph with instructor feedback for revisions, students read their stories. Then the instructor shows the video clip. Incredibly, each team always writes a very different version. The team closest to the actual story wins! The "story" of the video clip could also be the basis of a verb conjugation exercise (see document at Example 1). Follow up with dialog writing. What did the people in the video say to each other? What happened next? Example 1:
