Yesterday we began work on a CNN Student News transcript covering the ongoing events in the Middle East. We began the lesson by using the political map in our text to identify the countries involved (Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, and Algeria, among others) before students read parts from the transcript aloud.
The question was asked, "has anyone played dominoes before?" and many students raised their hands. We then briefly discussed the concept of the "domino effect" in the context of Middle East unrest.
We then began work to identify 5 words from the transcript that we didn´t know and to define them, using our dictionaries.
