THE CITY ENERGY PICTURE
Objectives:
1. To bring the city’s energy picture into the classroom.
2. To teach students to analyze what they see on film.
3. To encourage students to speak their minds about their own environment.
Motivation:
Suppose you were going to make a simple filmstrip on slide show and cassette. First, we’ll watch one that is professionally produced, Second, for each slide you will write down a comment about that slide,
Procedure:
-
1. After watching the strip ask for the students’ comments.
-
2. Ask how they could present the city energy picture by slides photographed around their city.
-
3. Ask which sites could they suggest to photograph.
Follow-Up:
Pictures should be taken by class “photographer” or teacher (if necessary). Show slides and develop verbal comments of students into paragraphs to accompany slides and make a cassette to be played with the slides by having different students read the paragraphs.
