Hi everybody,
I know this course is nearly finished but I have prepared this kind of webquest about important women in history, to work it with my students from 6 grade in EPO next Friday.
Maybe it can be useful for you.
I know there are some mistakes but I haven't had enough time to work on it. You can always adapt it and correct it.

See you,

Saint Valentine's Day
My students love singing, that is why I teach them songs as much as I can. This year we have worked on Someone like you, by Adele to celebrate St. Valentine's. I already knew they would love it as some of them told me so last year. I gave them the lyrics to do a fill in the gaps activity. At first sight, they found it very difficult but as soon as the song started to play they were quite efficient completing the blanks. We are studying the past simple tense so I found this song very suitable to keep on practising it. When we finished the first activity we translated the song writing down the 'special' expressions such as 'never mind', 'settle down' and such. Finally we sang it several times. That was the best for them as it is rewarding being able to sing a whole pop song in English. During this last week and a half they asked to sing it over and over again, they already know it by heart! I will use this resource for the oral exam as well.
This activity is nothing new but I think that if something works with a group the innovation is not a big deal. What do you think?
THEATRE IN CLASS!! 1,2,3 ACTION!!
Hi partners!! I am Sara Cledera I work in Villa Del Río with students who are studying 3º and 4º ESO. I would like to explain you my experience with them when I try to work with tasks which are not related to "grammar" or "irregular verb list".
As we have discussed in the last sessions in the course, our students sometimes do not feel motivated when they do "writing" or "reading" skills.
Throughout my experience with teenagers that are not always really into English, I have realised that if you propose them theatre, they usually change their views from the language.
From my point of view, students do not feel stressed and they have fun learning role plays. Futhermore, when they are learning the script they are working on the four skills "listening", "reading" "writing" and "speaking" . Finally, I can say from my experience, when a student participates in an English theatre, He/she changes his/her mind in the second language positively.

I've used voxopop for speaking activities such as interviews, telling holidays, etc but a funny thing is guessing something. The teacher gives clues about an object and they ask questions about it (where it is, if it's big, if you can eat it...etc).
They can also write or find a tongue twister and record it.

Hello everybody!!
Last Tuesday I did a writing activity with my pupils from 4th level of Primary following the ideas that Neda gave us in the writing session. We made a "running dictation", but of course, instead of those long and dull pieces of texts (sorry, Neda, you know it's true) I used the songs that we have in our course book (Bugs World- MacMillan) at the beginning ot each unit. In this way we also made a whole review of the vocabulary and structures. It was quite fun but very noisy too!! My children loved this activity and I had to promise we are going to do it again quite soon!
