Elvis Video Clip Challenge
The Elvis Video Clip Challenge is an interactive activity where students watch short Elvis music clips and complete the missing lyrics to practice listening and vocabulary skills.
Objectives
Engaging Listening Practice: Use short clips from popular music videos to hone listening skills in a lively and contemporary context.
Expand Linguistic Knowledge: Review and deepen understanding of pronunciation patterns, vocabulary, and colloquial expressions
1. Team Setup and Goals: Organize the class into teams, or for one-on-one sessions, establish a point goal tailored to the student's level.
2. Choosing the Difficulty: Begin by selecting an artist. Depending on the students' proficiency, you can:
· Click on Easy for a brief clip accompanied by multiple-choice questions.
· Opt for Hard for a slightly lengthier clip with fill-in-the-blank challenges. Remember, you can easily toggle between the two based on the students' performance and comfort level.
3. Scoring Variations: Adapt the scoring system to best suit the class dynamic. Some options include:
· Allowing one team to answer first, with a chance for other teams to jump in if there's a mistake.
· Encouraging students to jot down their answers individually and awarding points to those with correct answers.
· Alternatively, you can focus on the enjoyment and learning aspect, bypassing the points for a more relaxed experience.
4. Deep Dive into Lyrics: Take time to dissect interesting aspects of the lyrics, such as common contractions like "wanna" and "gonna" or distinctive expressions like "ain’t".
5. Home Practice: Encourage students to delve deeper by:
· Recording their renditions of the song, either by singing or reading out the lyrics, and sending you the audio files.
· Attempting to write out the song's lyrics from memory, aiding in retention and comprehension.
