Pinterest is another online tool I found particularly easy to set up and generate some useful teaching / learning material from.
The idea came to me while covering a class today. We revised some 'films and cinema' vocabulary and ended up talking about our favourite films. It was a very engaging and lively discussion and it was obvious that the students were keen to have a record of films they talked about, so that they could look them up and watch. This gave me an idea for a pinterest board.
I pinned the posters of my top 10 favourite films and added a short comment about each of them. In my commentary I included words and expressions that came up during today's lesson to provide students with a) context and use; b) permanent record of reference.
The link to my board is going to be sent to the students together with the list of instructions:
1. follow the link
2. register with pinterest
3. read my comments and identify vocabulary from today's lesson
4. like / comment on my selection of films
5. create your own board of top 10 favourite films and comment on each of them
6. send a link to your teacher and classmates
