23/54 " Find the Conclusion" through Twitter

  • Teaching Strategy : Making own conclusion, Summarizing
  • Learning Process
                * Teacher displays a story with missing conclusion part on the site.
                * Students make an own conclusion.
                * Students summarize the conclusion less than 140 letters. 
                * Students put it on the twitter.
                * All classmates share their ideas and choose the best creative and resaonable conclusion. 
  
                        + Tip : The story must stimulate students' interest.
                 

 This story could be something like this :


  The weather channel reported that a stretch of bad weather could be heading our way. It was summer vacation and we wanted to go to the beach. The sky was a brilliant blue with no clouds in sight. We were a little worried but decided that maybe the storm would miss us. We packed up our stuff and took the train to the beach. Wen we got out at the station, we noticed that the sky to the north was quite dark. As we put down our towels, the dark sky was moving closer. as a matter of fact, we were quite surprised by hwo fast it was moving. We quickly packed up and headed back to the train station. As we were walking over the sand dune, there was a sudden loud crack of thunder. As we dashed to the station, it started to rain and blow very hard......

                                          Teacher's turn :  How will this story end?

                                Students' Turn : Make a conclusion of the story on Twitter.
