Comunicando en la Comunidad

This assignment can be done all at once (if you have many FLIP cameras or over the course of a 9weeks or semester by using one or just a few).

1. Students will be loaned the FLIP camera for a few days (or a week) during which they will take the camera and film themselves interacting with people in the target language in local community.
2. After collecting their videos (and perhaps editing them), they will present them to the class (8-10 minutes total).
3. Students will share what was the hardest things for them during the interactions and what were the easiest. They will tell what they liked the most and why.
4. Students will graded using a rubric for their participation and product with this FLIP video production.


This lesson complies with the 5 C's of foreign language teaching and with most state and local standards. It is a creative and great way to get kids using the target language outside the classroom in a real and creative way that they love and get excited about!
