"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...

EdPuzzle & Harry Potter

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!!
