LESSON OVERVIEW

This technology lesson plan touches upon melding minds with machines, that is a brain-computer interface. It is based on a very interesting video which will definitely make your students eager to talk.

This is a Flipped Classroom lesson plan. In a nutshell, it means that the first part of the lesson needs to be done by students at home. Learn more about flipped classroom and how we implement it in these lesson plans in our post.

PRE-CLASS ACTIVITIES

The pre-class worksheet starts with a task on vocabulary. Students need to choose words that don’t fit in each line. This is a typical odd-one-out exercise and it includes advanced vocabulary taken from the video. Next, students move to a task on key word transformations. They get sentences with some words from the previous exercise and need to rewrite them using words given.

IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES

The in-class worksheet starts with a discussion on technology. The statements to be discussed are the same statements that students transformed at home. Then, there is another task on vocabulary. Students read some pairs of sentences and choose a verb from the box which can be used in both sentences. They may need to change the form of the verbs. The vocabulary in this exercise also appears in the video. Next, before watching, students read the extract from the video and discuss questions. After that, they watch the first part of the video and answer some comprehension questions. While watching the video again, students have to note down what figures and names given refer to. Finally, this technology lesson plan ends with an extensive discussion about the technology presented in the video.
