Showing videos is a good way to do this. During the showing of the video, the students should be actively engaged, they must have an assignment, a task to complete. For example, the teacher will find a five minute segment in the video which is particularly beautiful. Show this segment without sound several times. Have the students write a narration for this short segment.
Poetry is to be encouraged.
Have volunteers read their narration while the video is playing. Eventually the teacher will play the chosen segment with the original sound. The students will contrast their written work with that of the video's writers. An alternative would be to show the five minute segment having the students individually or in small groups list as many nouns and modifiers as they can. Compile a super list on the board which can help with their writing for the assignment.
