GENIALLY



Hi!
In my school there is no possibility for my studetns to create the Genially Project as we havent got computers. As a consequence, I have chosen to create one about “False Friends”. I think this topic is really interesting and for the third cycle is really useful as they start to incorporate English in their daily routine.
To work on oral skills, I am going to ask my students to participate during the whole presentation.
Before starting Genially, I ask them if they know what “False Friends” means and after brainstorming, I will tell them the truth.
Then, I start with the presentation and I will tell them to repeat after me the words that appear in the presentation. I will also ask them if they have made this kind of mistakes before.
Finally, after watching the presentation, I will give them the list of False Friends that have appeared before and then, ask them to look for another false friend in pairs.
Then, they will have to create a dialog, where they can show to the whole class the difference between the words and meanings, such as:
S1: Bring me a carpet! I need it to keep the exams.
S2: Oh! you want to say Folder!!!!!
In my opinion, Genially is a great resource as it incorporates different types of materials: videos, songs, images, etc., in an easy way, not as prezi (for example) that you need to get a master to use it. I found it very intuitive and useful. I am really happy with this course because I am discovering resources that I am sure I will use as soon as possible.
Bye.
Carmen.

EDPUZZLE ACTIVITY " STEVE AND MAGGIE "

Hello, here you can find the video I have modified to work it on the first cycle of Primary Education. https://edpuzzle.com/media/5e62307a6198cf4121ada33e I have chosen this video because I am working on body parts and I think they would find it enjoyable and motivating. I love Steve and Maggie and my kids love them too. I know they like this kind of activities because they imply their participation and they can watch the video at home and share it with their families, something that they really love doing. Of course, next time I am going to look for videos that have more content and give me the opportunity of creating different types of activities and writing different notes. With this activity, my students: - Use authentic materials, as they can watch the video on the computer or the iPad, becoming an interactive activity. - Reinforce the content we work in the class, acting as a post activity. - Work on "body parts", a topic they love as it implies

REFLECT OF READING HABITS

Hello! These are the answers for the  Activity 2.2 What kind of books or texts are the people reading?  Did they chose the books themselves or did someone else choose for them?  My parents used to read to me when I was a child and as a result, I love reading. I read before sleeping every day because it helps me to relax and disconnect.  I think that reading for pleasure is one of the best ways to learn a language. It teaches you new vocabulary in an indirect way and in a positive atmosphere. I have never seen reading as a complex or annoying task but of course, nowadays I enjoy reading more as before because I know what I like and nobody says what should I read. Generally, at school, children read books that teachers have chosen before. As a consequence, I think that many students don’t find pleasure on reading, because maybe they are not related to their preferences. People, who love reading, choose a book for many reasons, but people who suddenly decide read a book is because
