| Sequencing the task | |
| Before the task | |
| In previous activities, students have listened to examples of people talking about past relationships that didn’t work out. They take this as an example. | |
| During the task | |
| Before the seminar: Students create a VLOG about a relationship they had in the past (room-mate, partner, friend, etc.) and post on a Flipgrid that the teacher has created for their group. Each student describes a past relationship, describes how others made him/her feel and assesses that period of his/her life or that relationship as a whole. Before the seminar: Students have to watch all the videos and comment on 2 of them who still have not been commented on by others. In the comments they can relate to the other’s experience and share similar experiences. During the seminar: In small groups, students comment on what they have prepared (compare their experience with their classmates’ and find points in common). | |
| After the task | |
| In the next seminar students summarize the main findings of the conversation with fellow students. The teacher briefly sends individualized feedback about each student performance on the Vlog. | |
