Vocabulary Video

The textbook series that we use (Avancemos, Holt McDougal) has great videos that accompany the textbook. They are cheesy as all textbook videos are, but they are cheesy in a way that they seem to be making fun of themselves. The students love watching the videos.

In addition to the videos that have a story line, there are also vocabulary videos that use the vocabulary from each lesson. There is an option to have pop-up bubbles appear whenever a character says a vocabulary word.

I usually use these vocabulary video to review vocabulary at the end of a lesson. I will show the video to students with the sound and the pop-up words. We will watch it again with no sound and no pop-up words, and the students will shout out the vocabulary words as they see them or remember what each character said.
