I really enjoyed watching Victoria Davis's class. She was working on listening during her class session. The activity involved watching two youtbue clips about Christmas. One clip was of Justin Bieber. He talked about a new album he was coming out with. She checked for the students understanding by asking questions specific to what the speaker was discussing. The students had alot of questions about the slang words being used. This helped me imagine how pop culture looks on the outside. It was funny when I heard Victoria explain the word 'suck'! She showed them how it could be used to describe how you are doing or as a description of something. Maybe a verb?! .. She also informed the students that it is not academic talk.
The second audio clip was of Blake Shelton. With this clip, she wanted students to become familiar with the southern accent. One of the students noticed that thats how many people spoke around here. She allowed me to chime in on the discussion as well. I really enjoyed her class
