3 Noun Clause Short Story: Video and Worksheet

(TESOL Materials--Noun Clauses)

Notes: For a while, I've been using Strega Nona as a model text for Noun Clauses.  But the more I've been thinking, the more I've been unsure that it's actually modelling the grammar point I want.  So, I searched Youtube to see if I could find a better model text.  For the moment, this is the best I could come up with.  It's from the editad1 Youtube channel that I mentioned before.  

When I play this in class, I first use the gist questions "What does this person want?" and "Why did she fight with her parents?"
I then play the video from 0:21, but without showing my students the video (only playing the audio for them.)  After the students have processed the video for gist understanding, I give them the worksheet, and as a noticing task they have to listen and write in the missing words.  And then I show them the structure.
