Using my own personal music preference, I decided to bring my 2nd Bachillerato students the following text called "A History of the Beatles", which you can check at this website link . As it can be seen, the text is of a relative length, and it is written mainly in the past tense, with no ESL adaptation but considerably easy to read and understand. Learning objectives: Understand a text written in plain, real English Work in pairs and take decisions together Use tools online (TimeToast, picture hunting) Summarise key information Scan for particular bits of information (dates) After I presented the TimeToast tool in class, I asked my students to work in pairs, and decisions were genuinely taken by the members of each pair, with little or no influence from the teacher himself. I specifically asked them to find any instance of years or dates, and try to put it down on the Timeline, with a brief text written in the past tense. I also asked them to accompany each event from a pic
Hello, I consider that it is very important to know the phrasal verbs that are very common in spoken and written language and that we can use them in different contexts and situations. Making a list of the most common ones will help us better understand the texts and little by little introduce them to oral and written language. Games are a very good methodology to learn them. Good choice!
