The idea is simple: show your students a video in which the characters don’t speak (e.g. Shaun the Sheep or The Pink Panther). Then, show it again, but this time pause and ask them: “In this scene, if Shaun could speak, what would he say?”
That’s the easy way. A more time-consuming way is to printscreen scenes from the video, attach them on a piece of paper, divide the students in teams and let them decide what the character would say. Either way, they love it!
Here is what my “agriculturist”-students came up with after I showed them the episode “Troublesome tractor” from Shaun the Sheep.
As far as the Pink Panther video is concerned (“Super Pink”), after guessing what the characters would say, I gave them their own printed superheroes ( boy and girl )and they had to write about their superpowers. Yes, I’m talking about Senior High School, not Primary School! They equally enjoy this activity!
