I'm really happy with all the work you are doing!!!! It seems some people decided creating a conceptual map in the end, which was not so popular as a Wordle about vebs- by the way, why did you all chose verbs and not adjectives or nouns? Anyway, I'm grateful about any effort you decided to do. I hope all these activities were useful and interesting, at least a bit. Let's keep working like this!!! :)

Wonderful work!

And still more Wordle!

I'm very happy with your work, my dear students! Below you can find some more posters. Now, why don't you try with the activity about charity? I think you will find it interesting and useful.

Charity

After talking about charity in class, I think you can investigate a little bit about the topic. Let's read some information about some charitable organizations, and then we will create some posters with the main information found, using this simple tool to create conceptual maps.

These are the articles, choose one:

Unicef.
Amnesty International.
Oxfam.
Or, if you dare, a longer and more detailed one, about The Red Cross.

I hope you find this activity useful and interesting.

And here one more, by Leandro. Fantastic!

And I'm still willing to see some more, please!

Some more results.

Wordle about Henry VIII and The Tower of London.

Here you can see some of the results from the previous activity. They look great!

If you want to add more, just copy and paste the link as a comment, so I can upload it.

Henry VIII and The Tower of London.

To understand better the first story in your book "Strange Tales" it would be great that you learnt about its context. That means knowing a little bit more about its setting, the wonderful Tower of London, and the character Henry VIII. To do so, can you watch some of the following videos? You may find a lot of new vocabulary. Why don't you take note of the new words you find useful? We will look up their meaning and then you will create some posters with these words, using this simple tool.
(To watch the videos or to open the tool, just click on them).

Let's go! I hope you enjoy it!

Hi everyone!

Here you have my blog, where you will find resources and activities to improve not only your language skills, but also your knowledge about new technologies.
These two concepts are quite related to each other: learning a language doesn't mean learning a set of grammatical rules and doing "fill-in-the-gaps activities", it means learning to COMMUNICATE, and, of course, new technologies are a source of communication. Thus, they are going to be really helpful in our task of learning a language, and, the best you can use a language, the best you can understand all the information new technologies offer you. So, the relation is easy to see!

I hope you find this experience as exciting as I do.
