ACTIVITIES
About the image
The image in this activity is a baby chameleon hatched from its egg.

First, students cannot see the image. The teacher tells the students about this image on TV and that the subject of this photogragh is a wee, tiny being/creature on somebody’s part of the body. We tell students that before you show them the photograph, you are going to describe it with a text in hand.

So we read the text twice slowly and clearly and describe the photograph.
Secondly, give out the description text and show students the photograph and find out if they predicted correctly.
The teacher tells it is a baby chameleon hatching from its egg. It wiggled and squirmed free. Once it was done shedding its shell, it changed colours in someone’s hand.

Students ask wh- questions about the classification of animal kingdom and its characteristics.

Then, we tell the students that they are going to write a creative story about a baby chameleon (telling its main facts) with superpowers to save the planet Earth. Things they can do to help save our planet and that its changing of colurs will solve any kind of problems.

The teacher refers the students to some websites: https://www.wwf.org.uk/thingsyoucando

The students final task is to present, share and show their story with an online tool, as an online notice board,

'I'M BACKIN' UP, BACKIN' UP, BACKIN' UP' SONG, INSPIRED BY A BRAVE CLERK (MILAGROS LÓPEZ)

  LEVEL : I have used it for 1º Bachillerato, but it is also perfectly suitable for adults. My objective was to introduce them some vocabulary related to crime and some past and perfect tenses. I showed them some words and expressions which appeared in the video and made them talk about what they thought the video was going to be about. After we had discussed about it, I showed them the images of some of the words they did not know. Then I showed them the video up to the minute when Diana, the witness, talks. At that moment I just allowed them to listen to the woman, but not to see her. Then we talked about this woman. What was she like? What did she do for a living? What was she wearing and so on. Then we watched the video. I can tell you, all my students have used the word"hoodie" in their exams. By the way, there is a song related to this video which I play sometimes at the end of the session just for fun. I send you the link. You can find the lyrics here: https://www....
