Touring Our Wonderful School Versión 360 METADATA

This activity was designed to motivate my students to speak to everybody in front of a video camera.  Lower learners often find it difficult to speak spontaneously, so these kind of activities let them prepare for speaking by planning what they are going to say.

It was also a great opportunity for the students to describe their school.  





Let’s talk about directions!

This final activity was designed for practice urban map-reading and related prepositional phrases (e.g., next to, across the street from).  Students enjoyed asking and answering questions related to the given map.  After that, they worked in groups because they allow students additional practice by encouraging use of the target language.

Our dream house

A written assignment based on what students have learned in class.  A Power Point presentation was used to make the description of their dream house.  It was a collaborative work that involved students working in small groups.  They had the opportunity to teach each other by addressing misunderstandings and clarifying misconceptions.

Our First Interview

Esta actividad le permitió a los estudiantes poner en práctica el conocimiento adquirido durante el desarrollo de la primera unidad planteada para el curso.  Para el desarrollo de esta actividad, los estudiantes conformaron un equipo de trabajo, cada uno de los integrantes del equipo consultó la información personal de su personaje favorito y la escribió en inglés.  Luego se reunió nuevamente el equipo para escoger uno de los personajes, el  cual debía ser caracterizado por quien lo había escogido inicialmente y los demás serían los reporteros quienes lo entrevistarían para un programa importante de televisión.
Durante todas las etapas de esta actividad se evidenció el entusiamo e interés de los niños y niñas por llevar a buen término un excelente trabajo.  Felicitaciones para todos ellos!
