Procedure (52-60 minutes)
Activity: Before watching the video, hand out or draw a "grammar hunt" bingo grid on the board with items like: Passive Reported Speech Indirect Q Modal Verb Students will listen for these structures during the video and mark when they hear an example
First Viewing (with subtitles ON): General understanding: Who is speaking? What happened? 🟢 Second Viewing (focused): Students listen for target grammar (from the board or bingo grid) Underline or jot down specific examples they catch
Instructor asks: “Did anyone catch a mixed conditional?” “What’s an example of passive voice from the video?” “What question was asked using an indirect structure?” Board examples pulled directly from student notes. Optional: Students rewrite 1–2 quotes from the video using another grammar structure (e.g., turn a reported sentence into passive, or a direct quote into reported).
