STARTALK Classroom Video - San Diego State University/San Diego Turkish School

San Diego State University/San Diego Turkish School

Turkish

Novice

Gul and Aydin Goksel use a Turkish puppet play and traditional instruments to introduce basic weather expressions.

The elementary students in this video attend the San Diego Turkish School on Saturdays. They are heritage learners who may or may not speak Turkish at home. Most understand spoken Turkish. The lesson that is shown here is similar to one that was taught during the summer STARTALK program. Students in the summer program did have the opportunity to create an original shadow puppet show.
