Practicing with Clips

Part 3 of the COBE requires the student to watch a video clip, and answer 2 questions (or sets of questions).

The first question requires the student to retell the plot.

The second question requires use of a higher order thinking skill, but is not defined exactly what it will be. We recommend you and your students become familiar with the Table of Specifications, and have students practice a wide variety of questions in preparation for the exam.

In order to introduce this section to your students, work through this first example together with the whole class:

Based on Practice Test A: Video Clip

Question 1: Many things happened in the clip. Describe the events in the clip you just watched. What was the outcome (result) of these events?

Answer: The answer must flow as one continuous cohesive response, not short answers per question. The answer should include at least a description of the main events in the clip to show understanding of the main events and the outcome of those events at the end of the clip.

Question 2: How do you think the boy feels at the end of the clip? Explain. If you were the boy, what would you do with the money? Explain.

Answer: Their answer should present an opinion relating to how the boy feels at the end of the clip as a result of his actions. Their answer should be supported by information from the clip if possible. The answer should also include a personal reaction to the situation presented in the clip, stating what they would do and why, supporting it with an example or an explanation.

For further practice, share this with your students and have them work in pairs.

Watch the following clips.

Possible activities (up to discretion of teacher)

In pairs, take turns answering the following questions.
Record yourself answering the following questions, and send the recording to your teacher on Whatsapp.

Question 1:

Retell the events of the clip.

Question 2: Possible additional questions

How did the character/s solve the problem? How would you solve the problem?
How could the outcome of the story be different?
What do you think of the actions in the story? Explain.
Compare and contrast the 2 characters reactions. Why do you agree with? Explain.

Feel free to add your own tasks! If you find more cool clips, share them with us!
