"OUR FAMILIES" - A Genially project

-
I decided to let my students organize their own groups because they would make a project about their shared knowledge, so this way they can have more common things to talk about. Stages: The topic chosen is “ Our Families ", since it matches the speaking and writing topic of the current unit I’m covering in my 2nd ESO class. Students are grouped freely. We watch the introductory presentation on Genially. Notice there is a rubric on the last page of the presentation, where different aspects are covered (pronunciation, grammar and vocab points, etc). There is also a final section where they will ask their classmates about how much they understood:  https://view.genial.ly/662e1c5fa5b558001597823d/presentation-project-our-families Students start working on their projects, with computers in class, being monitored by myself. They will show me their drafts and I will help them with necessary corrections. After 2-3 days of work, students present their projects, and they are finally assess...

Prepositions with The Beatles: "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds"

Juan José's EdPuzzle activity using Billy Eilish's song and lyrics gave me an idea: https://edpuzzle.com/media/65fc29cddf3a08fc7cd33877 I thought I could do the same, this time with the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" , by The Beatles: https://edpuzzle.com/media/6638987af5c48b05721a4158 The song is full of instances of prepositions , so my students from upper courses can practise their listening skills as well as try to imagine the colourful scenery that the song evokes, by the rich vocabulary and the spacial information given by prepositions . After the listening activity, students could try to draw some scenes from the song, to check if they understood the pictures depicted as Lennon tried to express. It's a win-win!!

A graphic novel on Pixton

 First of all, I want to point out that the Pixton tool is no longer for free use anymore. I mean, you can design your comic or graphic novel, but you'll never have the chance to publish, share or export your piece of work, not even from the first day. So instead of creating a link, I've just taken three different screenshots, then pasted them together with KolourPaint, and finally generated a PNG file that I am uploading here. I'm sorry if the quality is not the best, but I think it's ok given the circumstances. About the use of the tool in class: I found it very fun to use in my 2nd ESO group, that's for starters. The class starting brainstorming very different, disconnected ideas, so I finally offered myself to be the main character of their fictional work. After that, bit a bit the plot was getting into shape, and finally we came up with this kind of mystery, humour piece that we all enjoyed making.
