Project on Genially: Birthday Party

Imagen
  In this case, students from 1st CSE, were asked to plan a friend’s birthday party. They were asked to create a presentation using Genially. In the slides, they had to include information about the party.  The first step was to look on the Internet for pictures that they could find as inspiration for the birthday party they wanted to organize. Once they had the party they wanted in mind in terms of decoration and activities to do, it was time to set a budget. Actually, the budget was given to them, so that they knew how much they could spend.  Their final mission was to create a presentation on Genially in which they explained and showed to the rest how their birthday party was going to be… the decoration, food, was there going to be a food truck? a dj?...

Furthermore, they were asked to design a birthday party invitation using the app Canva.  The key thing here was to make the rest of the students i...

Using TimeToast in class!

It was my first time using TimeToast. I took the opportunity of using these final days before Easter, to put this activity into practice and do something different from the activities that we usually do in class.  Among the learning objectives, the focus was on accepting and valuing a foreign culture and comparing it to their own culture. I think culture is essential when talking about foreign languages. Furthermore, another learning objective was to improve their reading and writing skills. They had to look for the information of these different people’s lives and also, when they didn’t find the information in English, they had to translate it from English to Spanish. I asked them to investigate a famous person born in an English speaking country. They had to create a timeline including all the important events of that person’s life.  The steps they had to follow where the following: Look for a famous person born in an English speaking country. Make a list of all the importan...

EDPUZZLE

 Hi!!! Creating this video using Edpuzzle for the first time has been such a grateful experience since it has been my first time using it. I chose this video since it explains the difference between “will”  and “be going to” step by step comparing each different use of each of them. For example, we use “will” for spontaneous decisions and “be going to” for already planned future actions. In the video, both uses which are opposite are compared at the same time so that students can identify the difference between them quickly. Among the objectives that I wanted to fulfill, we can find: to listen and understand specific information from oral texts in different communicative situations. To do so, the ideal thing is to use different sources such as videos, audios, that may be found on the Internet emphasizing the globalization of English as a language for international communication. Another key objective would be to develop the learner's autonomy, think about the learning processe...
