Videojug - Alternative to youtube

Lesson plan robbed from here

http://www.ihes.com/bcn/tt/eltblog/blog/2008/10/videojug-cool-alternative-to-youtube.html

Videojug is not quite your standard Youtube clone, instead it host thousands of "How to do" videos nicely organised into handy categories, for example with Halloween just round the corner we have in the Halloween section "How to do trick or treat" & interestingly "How to survive a zombie apocalypse"

Interesting idea would be to choose a video that your student would have some idea how to do and obviously matches their level/interests, etc, then get them to brainstorm how they would do it. After watch the video and check if correct.

A nice follow up would be to get students to do their own with equally silly titles eg "How to cheat in your exams", etc or how to do something that they are interested in, eg pelota or playing an instrument, which could then be filmed and put online!
