The Self Evaluation of Video Task

I have chosen this video because this is my favourite film. While I was preparing the video task , the most challenging thing for me is choosing a issue.  Apart from this I like this task . I like having freedom about the issue .

VIDEO TASK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C86pLho1hlE

This video is from “3 IDIOTS“ . I have chosen it because it is very impressive. In this scene , there is a conversation between a university professor and one of his students. The professor asks to the students 'What is a machine ? ' Raju answers simply but the professor doesn't accept his answer. Another student says a definition from the book . The professor says ' Excellent '. There is no difference , Raju says the same thing by using a simple language. I think teachers shouldn't expect definitions from the books , they should permit to students to explain their ideas clearly. This film is the best film I have ever watched.


Activities related to the video:
Questions:

* What does the professor expect from the students ?
*What is a machine ?
*What are Raju's ideas about the Education System ?

Vocabulary:
Guess and write the meanings of the words.

*fulcrum:
*pivot:
*pulley:
*nib:


Open-Ended Questions

*What do you think of about this video ?
*What are your opinions about blindly following the book definitions ?
