FINAL TASK (6.5. Foro "Interaction")

-

I have spent some time looking at Luis Alberto´s blog (Five Ways to Improve Your English) and the task that I like the most is his most recent one which makes use of Genially.

I had a look at both Pixton and Storyjumper before getting started and I found the scenes and props were much more limited on Pixton leading me to opt for the latter.   Given that we are towards the end of the first term, realistically I have not got time to carry out the sequence explained below with any of my groups, therefore I will have to explain it from a hypothetical point of view.  The sequence would be carried out during the Halloween period with a group of students in their 3rd year of CSE, and the story in Storyjumper would be the final product. While there would be cooperative activities in groups of four leading up to the final product, the final product in Storyjumper would be...

Did they choose the books themselves or did someone else choose for them? In most of the pictures, it seems people are reading books (either in a paper or a digital format). While people read books for many different reasons, I think most of the reading we generally do on a daily basis tends to be shorter texts, things like reading Tweets, posts on social media, the information we see displayed in our surroundings, instructions, subtitles and so on. Though part of this reading may be for pleasure, there is also a lot we do out of necessity. It is difficult to fathom whether the people in the pictures have chosen their own reading material, although it is likely that the children in the classroom did not choose their book given that all the kids have got the same one. Like with most things, everybody has different tastes and ...
