My CPD Project :Pat

Here´s my humble contribution to this blog. I´m planning to use it with my First Certificate group as a general revision to close the year.

My CPD Project: Marina

This is my last outcome. I have prepared a Lesson presenting Simple Present to my Kids 2 students.
Thanks Gaby for all your support and generosity! It's been a great year. Congratulations to all my peers on their fasntastic productions and I can say that I have definitely profited from this enlightening CPD course!!! Many thanks!!!

Andy's CPD Project

This is my last project. I've learnt a lot! Thanks Gabi for being so patient and generous. You are a great teacher! I loved each one of your classes.

Practice of vocabulary and grammar

present simple and routines

Warm-up

• I’m going to take my students to the school’s multimedia room where there are not only computers but also an overhead projector.

• I’m going to ask my students to follow a link which will be projected  on the board but before I am going to use Bitly so as to make the URL shorter.
• The link will open a voki
• The voki will ask them what activities they like doing at the weekend and what their routines are during weekdays

I will write the students' answers on a padlet which will be shown on the screen of the overhead projector. The title of the box I’ll write on the padlet will be Argentinian children.

Presentation

• I’ll send a link to their emails. They will watch a google presentation about a girl called Anna who lives in the outskirts of Australia . Task for watching and listening: Is Anna’s daily routine the same as yours?

Practice

• I’ll show them a picture of Anna and the students will have to write sentences about Anna using the present simple tense. They’ll write the sentences on the padlet I wrote the students’ answers about their daily routines.

Production

• In pairs, students will create a  cartoon about Anna’s daily routine using StoryboardThat. I’ll provide my students with the cartoon already designed, they will only have to choose a character for Anna and write in the speech bubble. I’ll  also ask them to include a narrator so as to make them practice the present simple tense in the 3rd person.

ASK FOR DIRECTIONS 

I created this story in order to practice giving and asking for directions. Characters are set in different town locations and and ask and answer in different ways.

My Voicethread by Marisa

I used Voicethread with my Adults 4 class. They were dealing with a topic related to the cinema and its history so I asked them to listen while watching the slides. They did it in groups just seeing part of it and then, in pairs, they told each other what they had been informed about. Later, they watched the whole presentation and talked about their favourite films and directors. They interviewed each other imagining they had lived in different periods of the history of the cinema. Finally, they wrote a letter to a friend inviting them to see a film and stating the reason for their choice.

My padlet - Festivals

I used Padlet with my teens 2 class. They dealt with celebrations in the coursebook so I thought that it would be a good idea for them to search for informaton about other celebrations and festivals around the world and share what they had found with the rest of the class.

Means of Transport

Means of Transport. I chose a video about a plane, to show the fastest means of transportation to my students.Students will be engaged in a discussion. They will arrive at a conclusion if it is advisable to travel by plane to cover long distances or noT

I´m Marisa and this is my Voki.

I would use my Voki to practise the Past simple tense in my Teens 2 class. I would use it after teaching and practising the tense in a more controlled way. With the imput of the image and the audio they are invited to create a story imagining what the girl could have done while on holiday. This would be a creative stage in which they would show not only grammar, but also vocabulary related to the topic. They could do it orally in pairs and later share what they have created with the whole class.

Places and transport.

I Created this cartoon for my story.
I will show the picture to the sts, I will braisntorm ideas about the story; Where is the lady, what do you think she is doing.
Then I will do the same with the following pictures, trying to elicit ideas.
Then I will show my story and they will try to create their own sotories.

My Storyboard, by Lucía Maté

This is my Storyboard:

My StoryThat (Pat) NO WAY!

I´ve created this story to review first conditional with my Teens 3 class.
I´m planning to show it to them, make them dramatize it in pairs and then invite them to create a story on their own and upload it onto our virtual room .
I´ll open a forum to leave comments on the students´productions so that everybody can share and receive a comment.

My cartoon - by Juli Montero.

This the cartoon I've created using Storyboardthat. It's a great tool because students have to create something new, using not only the language they've learnt but also their creativity and critical thinking!

Andy's StoryboardThat

I have created this story because I would like to ask my fourth form students to write a short paragraph telling me how they think the story ends. They already know the story and its characters because they are in their Student's Books In November the fourth formers are going to role-play the book's story and I am going to invite their parents to watch them. I think that it would be a good idea to showcase their productions in the Auditorium of the school where the mini concert is going to take place.

Hi I´m Marisa.This is my Storyboardthat.

I have created this Storyboard to help my teens 2 class see present simple verbs in context. They would read the story and ask and answer questions on the pictures. They might even retell the story using the third person singular. Later they might talk about the pictures, describing them and comparing them with their personal experiences. Later they could write a letter to Sally telling her about their routines.

"Mary's Dream Job" by Marina (using Storyboard That)

"Storyboard That" is a fantastic digital tool to create stories. I've prepared a simple story to revise the new structure "I want to..." and to consolidate past vocabulary. This is my outcome, but I'm sure my students will be more creative when writing their own dialogues and when choosing their characters and scenes. They'll feel very motivated to use this tool!

Using Storyboardthat - By Vanesa Gugliotta

This is a short comic strip I've created on Storyboardthat to work with the structures of giving suggestions and accepting and declining them. I chose a very simple situation in which two friends meet at a fast food bar and have to decide what to eat and later on what film they want to see. Afterwards, students will have to continue and finish this strip so that the characters that interact have to suggest, agree and disagree as well. Here it goes!

Storyboard by Lucía Sanjurjo

I've created this Storyboard in order to work with my Adol 5 students. As they are between 13 and 15 years old, they will probably find it appealing to work with characters they feel identified with. The intention of this storyboard is to present language functions such as invitations, offers and refusals, in an original way so that they are able to remember them, and feel motivated to design their own storyboards.

Today we created our first digital cartoons! Have a look at our creations on StoryboardThat!

Describing my favourite room (Marina)

Daniela L.

This is a Padlet Wall I prepared for my FCE students so that they can upload their recordings practising Speaking Part 2. The idea is to create a wall for each of the parts of the speaking exam so that they can profit from each other's productions, borrow ideas and comment on their works. Vanesa Gugliotta
