Samsara – clip – Food Production
(B1/Spoken Production)
Teacher notes –
The aim of this activity is to prompt students to utilise a visual and wordless clip to formulate a personal response or to communicate a message to a specific social situation/audience. This requires students to elicit the vocabulary themselves. To adapt the activity to weaker B1 levels the teacher can create a word bank to use. In the various suggestions, students can write titles, sentences or create a voice narration of selected segments of the clip. Students can also be asked write their personal experience of viewing the clip, or extract the general message of the clip.
Watch the following clip: http://vimeo.com/73234721

Activity:
- If you needed to give a title to this clip – what would it be?
- What is the message of this clip, in your opinion?
- Which parts of the clip made the biggest impression on you? Describe two scenes and explain your response to them.
- For technically oriented students – using a video clip editor – add captions to the segments of the clip.
- Adjectives and adverbs – which adjectives and adverbs would you use to describe the clip. (Adjective examples – shocking, interesting, amusing… Adverb examples – automatically, efficiently, cruelly, humanely…)
- Describe the food sequence in the clip. Use transitions of sequence (First, next, then, second, afterwards, finally…)
