Lifeboats and Icy Sea

Although this class actually works better in ESO, we can ask high level students to watch the video and then give their opinions about people who work at sea, using some of the words that appear in the word cloud. This is basically a speaking activity that allows the teacher to help with pronunciation.
It can be done in an even simpler way where the students have to describe what they say and say how it would feel to be in any of the boats in the video. A new word cloud can be created with key vocabulary that has been brainstormed.
This new word cloud can then be the basis for writing work where the students have to use at least 50% of the words to write a short text summarising the class discussion (guidelines for the written text: min 75 words, max 250 depending on student ability).

  1. Wow... this video is catchy and impressive!! It's a good way to start speaking or writing about shipboard jobs. I agree with you that it's more appropriated for ESO students, but I think it's an excellent video.
