EDPUZZLE

 Good morning everyone!

This Sunday is 17th March and it's St. Patrick's Day. It is a very important day that is celebrated in some English speaking countries. For this reason, from the English area I think it is important to work on this day so that the students get to know the Irish culture in this case.

The main objectives I want to achieve with this activity are:

  • To get to know the foreign culture in a fun way.

  • To understand oral texts related to foreign culture.

  • To promote oral communication in group work.

  • To develop digital competence at home.

To carry out this activity, we will use the Edpuzzle tool. Also, to ensure the success of the activity, it will be divided into three parts:

  • Pre-task: In class, we will work on the vocabulary related to this day through games, for example bingo, guess the word, find the word, hidden words... The words we will work on will be the following: gold, shamrock, clover, luck, rainbow, leprechaun, green, Ireland, parade... In this way we will be able to introduce the students to the activity in a motivating way. In addition, working on these words will help them to understand the video they will have to watch in the task.


  • Task: the students at home, using the flipped-classroom methodology, will have to watch the video and answer some questions that appear during the video. Also, each student must create three questions for their classmates.

The link to the video is: https://edpuzzle.com/media/65f200072cc3493d868f60df

The code is: zubibev


  • Post task: The next day in class, the classmates in groups will ask each other the questions they have created at home after watching the video. In this way we will be promoting oral communication among the students.


In conclusion, flipped classroom has helped me to adapt to all the learning rhythms of my students, which has helped me to achieve the proposed objectives. It has also helped me to get all the students to do the activity even if they have not been in class. 

This activity has been very well received by my students as they are always very motivated to learn about the culture and also to work on digital competence. However, one weak point of this activity is that the students who were absent on the first day of class when the vocabulary was worked on, found it difficult to do the activity at home. Next time I can attach an interactive game and upload it to the platform as well.

GENIALLY

MINI PROJECT WITH GENIALLY I  am going to carry out this activity with the students of 6th grade of Primary Education. The reason for this is that they are the ones who are best able to use digital tools. Also because I want them to learn about different tools for Secondary Education. In order to carry out this project, I first showed them a plan of the different steps they have to follow to do this project. I have used the Canva application to make the following scheme: This project will be carried out over four sessions. In the first session, the text 'Students take over the school' from the Anaya textbook will be read. In the second session, students will think of ten ways to improve their school and write them down in a draft. In the third session they will transfer these ten ways into a digital format using Genially. Finally, in the fourth session, students will give the oral presentation in class. The groups will be of three people and will be chosen by the students. I ha...

FROGGY GETS DRESSED (INTERACTION ACTIVITY)

 FROGGY GETS DRESSED (INTERACTION ACTIVITY) I loved the activity proposed by Lucía about Timetoast. Here is the link of her activity . I believe that she has organised the sequence of activities with the students very well, I consider it to be a motivating activity and that, in addition, it introduces reading comprehension. The activity I propose to use Timetoast is similar. I am going to use this digital tool to create a timeline of a book. The book is called 'Froggy gets dressed'. This book is all about weather and the vocabulary of clothes. The sequence I am going to follow is as follows: Reviewing the vocabulary of clothes and weather that has been previously worked on in class with different games, such as for example, scattered telephone, the hidden word, butterfly catcher... in this way we start by motivating the students at the beginning of the class. We introduce the main character, in this case Froggy. We can continue working on vocabulary and grammar but now introduc...
