TIMETOAST " ENGLISH AUTHORS AND BOOKS FOR CHILDREN"


Hello!
Here you can find the timeline I have created as a demonstration of the app usefulness.

https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/2189151

I have prepared this activity on my own because my students are not ready yet because of their age and my school context. Despite this fact, I have shown this timeline to my students, so that they can:
- Discover the different variety of English books they have.
- Learn a little bit of the English literature and history.
- Practice the second language in a meaningful and enjoyable way.
Timetoast is a great resource as it makes easier the learning process. It is brief, attractive, motivating, easy, and also promotes students' participation as they do not only see the timelines but also create them, giving students an active role.
Thanks to Timetoast, I have organized better the data I want my students to learn and my students also get in a different way the information, becoming an interactive and meaningful activity.
Bye!

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
