Ian Turnbull reminded me today that videoclips in lessons are underused!  You Tube has tons of stuff out there to be used, even if it just for a starter to make your learners think.  Show a clip of a downhill mountain biker and do a tally of the amount of jumps s/he does, describe how s/he is feeling, describe what you see etc etc etc.  The possibilities are endless.  I was using music videos today (well actually, just the music - the projector wasn't switched on) in a year 9  class to use discussion and argument language in German.  It really motivates our lovely boys and girls!
