Activity: Dictation race (desdoblament)

Whispering  Dictation      Race Race

On this third activity during desdoblament classes we had the students split into two parts. One half was with Maribel and the other half stayed with me.

The class was divided into two groups. Each group had a writer, a group of speakers and a reader. Only the reader could have the book from which he or she had to whisper step by step a specific text from our students’ book. It was called First Impressions from unit 1. The activity was about whispering the text from the reader, and whispering from ear to ear had to be traspassed through the speakers and finishing with the writer who would write the text on a piece of paper.

The winner was the one who got the better timing and had committed less mistakes.

The text was corrected by the whole group and checked by the teacher. No cheating allowed!

Portfolio: It drives me crazy!_3A

I hate it when people play loud music.

I hate it when people plays loud music, which I don’t like, of course. Here you have portfolio activity number 4. What is it that drives you crazy? Are you ok with people smoking next to you? Do you get annoyed when you’re interrupted? Are you ok when the person you are taking to starts text messaging? This activity was about making a list of the different things which annoy you most.

CAN DO statement: I can write about the things which annoy me most.

Here you have my favourites by Martina Moxo, Rebeca Mahedero and Sandra Martinez.
