•How to use it
The teacher introduces the topic and elicits from students what words they associate with the topic. The teacher helps students to create a mind map (the teacher can create a cloud on www.mentimeter.com and invite students to come up with their suggestions). The students are invited to watch the video and take notes according to a given structure (physical properties/ chemical properties/reactions with oxygen, water, acid, chlorine and hydrogen). The teacher can use the Watch-think-write strategy. The teacher fragments the video into its main sections. The teacher pauses the video after each section to allow students to process the information, to ask questions, discuss and complete the task. Thus students are given enough time to include the new information in their guided notes and summarize it.
Then students discuss key points (their notes) in pairs or groups; students use their guided notes as a way to explain the content to each other. Students complete their initial mind map with new words they want to retain and create concept maps based on prior knowledge and new ideas from the video sections they watched.
•Possible difficulties for the students
Students who have poor knowledge of English can have problems with understanding the content.
