9.+Video+of+Teaching

This is a short video of me teaching a mini-lesson during my unit about immigration. In this lesson, we examined the immigrant experience by reading a short poem by a Turkish immigrant to Germany. The clip below shows us discussing, after having read the poem 3 times, certain words selected from the poem. These were words chosen because they were words relating strongly to the topic of immigration and feelings of belonging. I used negotiation of meaning with words that the students were already familiar with and word play to help explain the meaning and context of the new words.
