Flickr

Hello bloggers,

Unfortunately, I have just started Day Visit and will have only 2 visit left, so that I will share my design of Flickr.

The learning area is Japanese. To remember plenty of verbs, I will give a task that are;

1. Select some verbs (some- they have learnt, some- seek new verbs they do not know from
text book or dictionary etc.)
2. Bring own photos (saved in a file) or download some pictures from website that are images
of the verbs what they chose
3. Explore the Flickr and upload the pictures
4. Make a sentence using verbs for each images (write them in a comment box)
5. Share own work with their peers





In an advanced class, I would like students to make moving pictures in order to image and remember "something on a move", "~ te imasu (be + verb + ing); for example, "Watashi wa banana wo tabete imasu"I am eating banana. I expect them to image "someting on a move", drinking, walking, watching etc.. when they see or hear the sentence "~ te imasu".

The point of the use of Flickr in this lesson is to have vivid memories with pictures to last long the memories in students brain and able to remember huge amount of visual information in short time using the sencery (Cooper,1998). To store the information, I need to do this activity several times and let students read in sentence and write reinforce.


Regards,

Shiho
