LEARNING SITUATION: A STORY OF MYSTERY

Students in 4th ESO worked very hard on this learning situation. After studying specific vocabulary, reading, listening to, and working with different stories filled with mysteries in unit 3, they were ready to create their own story or adapt a scene from one they liked. In small groups, they wrote a script that included all necessary details and then recorded themselves performing the story.

Here are the results:

UNIT 4: INVENTION (3rd ESO)

 

What makes a good invention? What is the best way to present it to people? Difficult to say, isn't it? Well, after working with all the activities in this unit, it will be much easier!

To be ready to deal with this topic, it is necessary to revise/learn some vocabulary related to SCIENCE. These verb and noun collocations you can find on this QUIZLET will be very useful.

We studied the PAST PERFECT tense. This video explains it in a very clear way:

PAST PERFECT EXERCISES

The practice in the book includes a reference to the real inventor of crisps (yummy!). Yes, inventions are not only technological 😉! Why don't you take a break and watch this video about this delicious invention?

Once an invention is made, it is necessary to describe it to others. That's why we have studied some vocabulary for DESCRIBING PRODUCTS. This crossword will help you revise it:

Continuing this fascinating trip on inventions, we learned about Oohos. Watch this video to know more about this innovative and environmentally friendly product: 

Among all these inventions, language has also created its own, like DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES, very useful to give essential information about a noun. Here you have some extra practice:

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

EXERCISE 3

EXERCISE 4

If you ever become an inventor and come up with a brilliant idea, you will certainly need to write A FORMAL LETTER to the company or people who can help you make your invention a reality. Check this video to make sure you write it in the best way possible:

After all you have seen in this unit, any inventors out there??? Who knows...

INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT 2ND ESO: A BRAINBOX CARD GAME ABOUT "THE PARK OF LIFE"

After visiting The Park of Life and its different sections students have prepared a set of cards with information about the exhibitions they saw  there. 

We have used this Brainbox game in class to check how much students learnt during their visit. Do you know how to play? Students  in turns pick a card and have 15 seconds to read the information on the front side; then they roll the dice and have to answer the question at the back of the card with the same number they got.

If you click on the photograph above you can see a presentation with all the cards students prepared.
