DVD Guidelines
The ‘WORLD RACE’ DVD is an entertaining, interactive quiz, for the viewer, and a flexible, ‘ready-made’ session plan, for the demonstrator.
Although simple to use, it is a good idea for any demonstrator to practice with the ‘World Race’ DVD before demonstrating to the viewer. This will allow the demonstrator to understand the use of the pause, chapter and play buttons, in order to be able to navigate confidently from one chapter to the next.
It will also allow the demonstrator to view the content, and see whether there are certain sections which can be linked with what they are already teaching.
These guidelines for he interactive ‘World Race’ DVD quiz, should allow the demonstrator to: -
§ Navigate through the DVD.
§ Assist the demonstrator with discussion points.
§ Gives examples of what to discuss.
§ Ideas of how to link the topics to areas of the curriculum.
§ Gives ideas of what tasks could be set.
THE GUIDELINES ARE MERELY GUIDELINES.
The idea is for the demonstrator to use the DVD in whatever way they think will fit in with their classroom scenario. For example: -
§ The use of the DVD can be spread over a day, a week, a term or even a year.
§ The DVD could be to enhance a subject already being taught.
The way the DVD is used is entirely up to the demonstrator.
The information which accommodates the DVD in this guide is merely an example of what can be discussed or used for tasks.
The quiz works on a structure of:-
QUESTION – PAUSE – ANSWER – VIDEO – PAUSE - DISCUSSION - TASK
Points during the session where you are required to use the DVD remote control are marked in red.
THIS IS THE SAME FOR ALL OF THE 20 QUESTIONS.
WORLD RACE INTERACTIVE DVD GUIDELINES
The world race DVD is split into 3 different sections/films.
§ 1 WORLD RACE INTERACTIVE QUIZ
§ 2 MUSIC VIDEO
§ 3 INTERVIEWS
The DVD is a flexible learning and teaching aid, allowing the viewer to view, discuss and participate in tasks on different topics about the world we live in.
The QUIZ also prompts the demonstrator when to pause and when to play, allowing constructive discussions and the opportunity to set the viewers tasks relating to the topic they have been quizzed on. At the end of each question there is a small explanatory video which will then prompt the demonstrator to discuss the topic as they see fit.
There are 20 multiple choice questions, and to get the correct answer, the viewer has to pick the correct panellist of which there are 5, all from differing cultural backgrounds. (There can be more than one correct answer to each question)
NB/ A multiple choice answer sheet is provided at the end of this training pack for you to copy.
This guide contains the questions, the correct answers, and some guidelines as to what to discuss at the end of each section. It also gives some ideas relating to setting tasks which can go hand in hand with your curriculum material.
The intention is to allow the viewers not only to watch, but also to actively participate in the different aspects of what makes our modern day world so fascinating.
