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 love doing tasks with the kids that require them to use their imagination and this task requires exactly that. I also like the fact that Luis Alberto asked his students to peer evaluate as it’s a good way for students to reflect on their work and also to get them to focus on something while listening to their classmates’ presentations. I would most likely create a similar task, though I would provide students with the rubric I'll use to evaluate them beforehand and possibly focus on different grammar.

My First Genially - Word Cloud Project

-
Image
This project is called Word Cloud: Getting to know your classmates and it has been designed for a group of students in their second year of secondary school, though it may also be carried out with other levels, making the required language and contents more or less difficult. The idea is to create a fun project to start after the initial evaluation to review basic language and for the kids to get to know one another a little better. The final product will be an oral presentation in Genially in which they introduce one of their classmates using a Word Cloud to help them create a visual image. The objectives of this project are:  Produce oral and written texts describing personality, likes, hobbies and other personal details.  Understand oral texts about interest, hobbies, personality and other personal details.   Create a word cloud in WordArt and a presentation in Genially. Interact with classmates in the target language.  The project should last about four wee...

My First TimeToast

-

This sequence has been designed to carry out with students in the 3rd year of compulsory secondary education during March to celebrate International Women’s Day. The sequence has a number of learning objectives. Firstly and most importantly, the main objective is to raise awareness about the lack of women in science and get students thinking about the reasons behind this. Besides that, students will develop their reading skills and learn how to use linking words and relative clauses.  Timetoast is an excellent application for this because students will be able to see in a very visual way that there have been many important women in the field of Science over the years despite not receiving the same recognition that their male counterparts have got. Being able to visualise this will get students to reflect on the inequality women have suffered over the centuries and continue to suffer. What is more, the timelines can be easily printed off and displayed in the school to educate others...

My Reflections On Reading

My Reflections On Reading Have a look at the images and think about your own reading habits. Have they changed? What kind of books or texts are the people reading? 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 ...
