Patch Adams's Preconceptions

-

 Patch Adams is an American  physician, clown and a social  activist, who believes in  treating his patients with  love, patience, humor and  creativity, apart from the  traditional medical services.  In the video, we can see  Patch Adams and clowns  from around the world,  which are known as  ‘payam茅dicos’, visiting a  community in Iquitos, Per煤.  They participate in a festival,  interacting with people living  there. 



The video is a useful tool to work with students in  primary school, for example to teach emotions in  5th grade: students can design their own  payamedico’s face and outfit (clothes) expressing a certain emotion by  drawing and painting. Finally, students would  present their creation to the rest of their classmates.

By using short  films students are learning  about the language in a  specific context. Students from any age can be shown different short  films about any topic so as to work with it in the  English class.   For example, the short film called “Grammar Genius” ( Grammar Genius Video ) can be  used to work with the present simple and the  routines with 1st year students of a Secondary  School.
