You can also pre-teach the vocabulary of the video using flashcards or drawings. In this video we have grapes, goat, go-kart. One way I teach the vocabulary is to play the video once, then play it again, pausing at each vocabulary word and having the students say it a few times.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4157\" class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4159\" class=\"\"><strong>After the Video Activities<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4160\" class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4162\" class=\"\">Here are some of my ideas for extending the learning experience from the video in your classroom.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4163\" class=\"\"><\/div>\n<ol id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4165\" class=\"\">\n<li id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4166\" class=\"\"><strong>Speaking Activities:<\/strong> Ask the students questions like, \u201c What is today\u2019s letter?

Do you have letter G as the first letter in your name?\u201d<\/li>\n<li id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4167\" class=\"\"><strong>Writing Activities:<\/strong> Ask the students if they can write the letter G on the board. In the video I use the capital letter, but feel free to teach the lower case at this point. Ask the students if they can draw anything that starts with the letter G, like grapes, a go-kart or a goat.<\/li>\n<li id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1539044736175_4168\" class=\"\"><strong>Worksheet Activities:<\/strong> We have a Letter G touch and say phonics worksheet that you can print out and use in your classes.
