Lucas the Spider – It’s hot.

Level: K-5th grade

lucas

The corona virus season is up and running. Here comes another online friendly lesson. I planned it for zoom.us or any other app that allows screen sharing and video meeting.

The class is based on an episode of ‘Lucas the Spider’.

Start with a presentation of vocabulary in Quizlet (flashcard mode):

https://quizlet.com/496398940/lucas-the-spider-its-hot-flash-cards/

Use the learn mode or do a live game to practice the vocab.

Watch the video:

Start with repeating and TPR miming each sentence. Later play the entire video at once. Ask kids some comprehension questions about the video.

  • Does Lucas like it on the tree? Why?
  • Does Lucas like it next to the barbecue? Why?
  • Does Lucas like it by the pool? Why?
  • Does Lucas like it under the tree? Why?

Finish with a discussion on what kids like to do in different seasons of the year.

Marketing and such.

Level: B1 and up

MLM, advertising, content marketing, product placement.

There are many ways in which companies promote their products and services. Some of them are effective, some are fun and some are neither.

Vocabulary and speaking material based on two videos regarding online reality show ‘Planet of the Apps’ which according to some is the very example of how you should not do marketing.

Two rather different points of view on one show. Watch, discuss, engage in critical thinking.

What’s inside? Inspiration.

Level: B2 and up

The first part of the worksheet is a self-directed set of four activities. Discussion on working with your family and little bit of pre-listening guess work.

After that students listen to the initial part of the interview and write down comprehesion questions for other students to answer.

Activity five, on the other hand, is a set of hardcore listening comprehension questions. A 20 yo girl calls the show to ask for advice on inspiration and motivation. Seems obvious and easy but… well check it out for yourself. My students found it pretty challenging.

Finally, a discussion on privilage and unfair advantage, based on the story of New Orleans. Before going into discussion, I suggest pre-teaching New Orleans’ tough history which resulted in residential segregation of the city.
