This is my first video teaching task. I used Video Impression 2

camera. It works quite well, though, to make short videos. I
have just purchased better video software for Windows and will
try that out and I use iMovie on my school laptop. I wanted to
start the year differently. My students know I will ask them
about their holidays. They won’t know there will be a video
introduction. The year 9s will have to learn the passé composé
and the activities first and I have a slide presentation for
that and then a doc with the key vocabulary which is also

doc and the PowerPoint to consult. My senior students will use
this as revision and they will go onto Twiducate which I use all
