Online Dictionary Skills Practice

I did an online dictionary skills activity when I introduced the 'Documentary' genre in the first semester. For this activity, I used a condensed 7-minute version of "Supersize Me" from YouTube.

7-minute version of 'Supersize Me'
This documentary is fairly easy to understand with a little explanation, but before showing the clip, I have students look up essential vocabulary in an online dictionary.






My recommended English-English site is OneLook.com (a dictionary aggregator).

Two essential English-Japanese dictionary sites are:
alc.co.jp
weblio.jp
