Master Oogway's wisdom

                   

For this week, I did a TEDed lesson called Master Oogway's Awesome Saying, it's a fun one, but also one worth deeper thinking about it. 

Language Learning Objectives:

Students will be able to:

·   Understand phrases and sentences within the conversation between Master Oogway and Po the panda.

·   Make use of contextual clues to infer meanings of unfamiliar words from context

·   Understand and discuss ideas delivered in this lesson.

·   Develop and ask questions appropriate about the listening context

·   Understand and respond appropriately to the discussion question by paraphrasing the ideas of the lesson and turn them into coherent and well developed stories of themselves.

The purpose of this lesson is to see if students could get the main idea of the wisdom quotes from Master Oogway at the end. This lesson is very short but very straightforward, it designed for advanced level Els in order to test their listening comprehension and critical thinking ability. It’s easy to test their listening comprehension by letting them do the multiple-choice questions, but how to get to know students’ critical thinking ability is tricky, for this lesson, I use my discussion question to make students think about how the lesson applies to them since it is a great way to create empathy and encourage learning by making it personal. With them telling stories of themselves I could evaluate how much they understand the lesson and by how they related it with their own experiences, and besides that, maybe they could even provide more wisdom saying or quotes to inspire us！

Hope you like the lesson, and, oh, here are some cute little ones~~
