This generation of students in the new digital is particularly fond of videos rather than books or lectures in terms of obtaining new information. YouTube video playlist is an efficient and fun way to introduce a subject to student. It gets students excited and makes the content easier to comprehend, especially for the visual learners. A YouTube playlist is very easy to create. Once you've created an account, you can upload videos of your own, or create playlists from existing videos. When you find a video you would like to use, click the "Add to" tab below the video (next to "Share" and other options) and select the playlist you would like to add it to, or create a new one. Once you've created a playlist, you can edit the list and the individual videos from the "Dashboard" and "Video Manager."
For this assignment, I have created a playlist, including four videos, on the subject of Chinese Animal Zodiac. The first video is an introductory video that explains the playlist. The other three are videos explaining the origin, the symbolic meaning and the practical use of Chinese Animal Zodiac in daily life. This playlist would be a great way to introduce the Chinese culture and get students interested in exploring it.
I invite you to watch the videos and think about the following questions:
1. What are the twelve animals in the Zodiac?
2. Which animals represent the following qualities respectively: diligence, courage, loyalty, smartness and flexibility.
3. If you are born in the year of monkey, you are compatible with people born in the years of what animals?
4. How is Chinese Animal Zodiac different from Western Twelve Constellation?
