Metacognition activities (media)

We live in a media age. Pop culture, social media, the internet, marketing, television and so much more dominates the psyche of our times. We shouldn't shy away from these but instead embrace these and use these in a constructive way.

• Videos - There are some great videos on youtube such as: 

'All the world are related' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9JTjk75-yk). This can be used with questions about whether students would like to find out or to guess what happens next. This is great for practicing past tenses, and the present perfect.

'Everybodies Free to wear sunscreen' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfq_A8nXMsQ). This video can be used to talk about advice and you can ask students whether they agree or disagree with the video and create their own advice for their future selves.

'Smart phones and dumb people' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wtKU2ef_S4&t=17s) This is great for practicing linkers, technology vocabulary and modal verbs of prediction.
