It is important to know and be prepared in an emergency in a foreign country. The students took the topic with a lot of joy and motivation. The topic of nutrition was also very interesting and many different opinions were expressed. Role plays are always a good way to make the class more exciting. The vocabulary worked very well and was incorporated directly into the role plays. Also positive to mention is that many students had different opinions on nutrition and there was an interesting discussion at the end of the hour. It is always good to introduce vocabulary that fits the topic in the lesson. This gives the students a starting point for the conversation.

DE F20 ADV – German politics

Language Resident/Assistant Name: Eva Saunders

Credit to: INES FISTER, DE F17 INT German Parliament – Bundestag
(I modified her class for online. Had the group research be homework so we had more time to discuss current politics and added some explainity videos.)

Day and Date: 11/10/2020

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class): Advanced

Class theme/topics discussed: German government and current politics

Goal of the class: Discuss current politics and trends in Germany

How did you structure the class?

A) Warm-Up: How do you feel right now that the US election is over? Did you celebrate?

B) Discussion: Did you know yesterday was the first anniversary of the fall of the Wall in Berlin? How much do you know about that? Fill in knowledge gaps, if needed with a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxWn75LSO48

C) Homework Recap: Students present their research about a German political party each. Then talk about 6 major parties in Germany and where they are on the spectrum. Look at how large each party is in the Parliament. Discuss some topics the parties have discussed recently or topics the students are especially interested in.

D) Extra Activity (if not talking about the fall of the wall or if students want to go deeper):
a) Video about how parliament is elected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAkG_D8nKTc&list=PLfRDp3S7rLds47DhlHPlRwTSK4DP5fmuo&index=55

b) Video about how chancellor is elected:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLHEBeSKfPI

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.) Prop: Share Screen function in Zoom, Chat, Youtube, Google Sheets, Course Website as a resource for homework and reference

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

I modified the previous lesson plan to having the students each present a party that was prepared as homework, because they seemed to be interested in the current policies and we had more time to talk about that this way. But the research could also be done during the class. I assigned each a party, so we didn’t hear about the same party several times.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

I would leave as is. I asked the students which direction they wanted to go deeper in and they wanted to know more about parliament elections. They were very interested and engaged this way.

If you have a more detailed lesson plan, please attach it below (OK to use target language for that).  Please attach any handouts as well.

ES F20 ADV Diet & Food labeling laws

Language Resident: Katherine Pérez Gutiérrez

Class theme/topic discussed : Food Industry & Diet

Goal of the class 

  • Practice vocabulary related to diet and food industry
  • Discuss how health laws are related with health issues and the role food industries have on consumption.

Class structure

  • Warm-up questions: What’s a “diet” for you? Have your eating habits changed since you were a child? How would an average diet look like in the US? What diets have you heard of, what do they consist of?
  • Activity 1 Organic Diet: Students discuss the issues that are supposed to be solved by switching to a 100% organic diet. After introducing the possible new issues that may arise as a consequence, students discuss the short- and long-term effects an organic diet may have for the environment and agriculture. Would it be feasible for everyone?
  • Activity 2 Food labeling laws: Student watch videos about food labeling regulations in the US and in Chile. They answer some questions about them: Do they have anything in common? How are they different? What effects do you think these regulations have had on public health concerns? Do you think it changed people’s eating habits? Would it work in the US?
  • Activity 3 What’s for dinner (cred. Tamara Olivos): In groups students must create a recipe with a “secret ingredient” to make it special (doesn’t have to be food, they can be as creative as they want). Then, they present their creation to the class as if they were on TV.

Resources used

Reflection: What worked/did not work? How can it be improved?

  • It was a great class. Two students who took my class the year before so we had already commented on the food labeling laws, but in a much more superficial level. They were all very interested on how different the regulations were, the effects it had had on public health and how a regulation like this would be beneficial in the US.

Médicaments : comment consomment les Français ?

Publié le 10-07-2013 à 17h39

Par Le Nouvel Observateur

INFOGRAPHIE. 48 boîtes de médicaments par an et par habitant, un marché en léger recul… Aperçu chiffré de la consommation de médicaments en France.

L’Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament (ANSM) a publié son analyse des ventes de médicaments pour l’année 2012 en France. Principale conclusion : le marché des médicaments est en léger recul. Il s’explique non par une baisse des quantités vendues mais par celle du chiffre d’affaires. En cause : les baisses de prix mises en œuvre en 2012 et le développement des génériques.

48 boîtes de médicament : c’est ce que consomme en moyenne chaque Français en un an. C’est moins que l’année dernière (-1,5% au total: -2,8 % pour les ventes en pharmacies; + 3% pour celles destinées aux établissements hospitaliers) mais «la consommation des médicaments reste importante», note l’agence.

Le 13 juin dernier, le syndicat de l’industrie pharmaceutique, le Leem, évoquait un «recul historique» après deux années de quasi-stagnation, avec, au total, un chiffre d’affaires (CA) qui a diminué de 2%. Pour le Leem, le recul du CA des ventes en officine était de 2,5% en 2012 et le CA à l’hôpital était stable.

Divide into 3 groups, each group has one doctor. The rest are the patients. The patients
all do Rock-Scissor-Paper and the first loser picks a card from the pile. They look at the card and then say “Doctor, doctor my ______ hurts” or “Doctor, doctor, I have a _______” depending on the card they choose. Then the doctor should say “Oh That’s to bad” and wrap that part of the patient’s body in toilet
paper. This continues until one student in the class is a complete mummy (wrapped everywhere)

JP F09 ADV Picture difference, Mummy game

Class theme/topics discussed:
Cultural Activity announcement
・Picture difference (Vocabs for Halloween; 魔女・猫・おばけ・かぼちゃ・くも・くもの巣・ふくろう・こうもり・がいこつ)
・Mummy Game

How did you pick this theme or topic?
Because it was right before Halloween!

How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
Picture difference: I prepared the picture differences sheets from Ganki English.com. I divided in to pair, and they were finding the picture difference between 2 pictures. We did “Mummy Game” I prepared 4 rolls of Toilet papers. Make a pair, and one of them was going to be a doctor, and another one was going to be a patient(mummy). Then, doctor had to do じゃんけん with another doctor of team. Winner was a doctor, and Loser was a patient(mummy). Doctor had to ask patient “What’s wrong with you?” “Where do you hurt?” and the patient(loser) had to tell “My head is injured” or “my elbow hurts” and they needed to explain the detail. After that, Winner had to wrap the loser what they said the part of body.

How did students react?
Picture difference: This was good ice break, but first of all students seemed not be excited to do this, because it was too easy. But they talked a lot. So eventually, it was good.
Mummy Game: It was fun! They were so excited to do this, and they talked a lot! But I had to introduce the body parts first…many students didn’t know the body parts…that made me surprised because I thought they already knew the vocabs for body parts. I will make sure the body parts next time class.

Did they engage with each other and you?
Yes, they engaged very much!

What materials or media did you use? (articles, satellite tv, digital projector, etc.)

Would you recommend this activity for a future class?
Yes! I would like to do these activity again! But only before Halloween…

Why or why not?
Students can be relax more than usual class because it was just right before Halloween. Mummy game is also good practice to memorize body parts. Mummy is good for Halloween!

FR S08 INT – Ethics issue

Reading of an article about a woman who was asking for euthanasia in France.

How did you pick this theme or topic?
( First they asked me questions about Universities in France so I talked for 20 minutes)
This is a current issue in France and I could find articles that were not hard to read.

How did you present the material? (Handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
First we played a game for vocabulary about health. I gave them a list of “words” but the letters were in disorder and they had to find what the words were. Then we brainstormed a little bit.
I introduced the article, and then we read it together. I checked the important words, or the ones they did not know.
Then I gave them a list of questions and divided them into small groups to discuss them.

How did students react?
The topic was not funny at all, but they seemed to be really interested, especially because the article I gave them opened up on what happened next, so they could try to guess. Then I told them what really happened. It made them really involved.

Did they engage with each other and you?
Yes
