HANDA'S SURPRISE (SILVIA VALENCIAGA)

 


LEVEL: 1st Primary
OBJECTIVE: To create simple stories, adapt stories to different scenarios, use key words from the lesson and compare with the original story.
TECHNIQUE: Constructing stories from images.

ACTIVITY: this is a preactivity before working Handa’s Surprise Book.


Students are learning about living things in Natural Science and English.


The idea of the activity is to create a story using an animal and a plant that apear at random. There are two images that always appear in the story, Handa and basket. Every day different students create a story and we review words and english structures. Every three days we change the landscape of the story and they could change the story too. Once they have seen all animals and plants and use them through different stories, it is time for listening the original story of Handa. Then, we could compare the original story with the stories invented by them. They will really enjoy and feel well-motivated.

  LEVEL: Kindergarten (4-5 years old). TOPIC : We can recycle waste. OBJECTIVES: · Understand what waste is and how it affects our environment. · Emphasize the reduced use of plastic. · Learn ways to apply the three R´s. · Know how to sort the waste in the correct bins. ACTIVITIES: 1. Read a book : Why Should I Recycle? During the circle time we could read this book and talk about the most important aspects mentioned on it and emphasized some of them.

Taking the picture as an starting point, and with some recycling materials, we could encourge our students to create and ...

  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....
