FLIPPED CLASSROOM - MODAL VERBS

Today, I have prepared a Presentation with Genially to explain my students the main features and uses of modal verbs. This tool is great to do a Flipped classroom, because it allows you to record your voice, so they can see the presentation at home, and later we can solve doubts and practice in the class.

I have also created a little quiz to see if they have learnt it properly.

Here you have both of them:

STEP 1: You will work in groups. Then, you will be assigned an issue that should be taken into account to protect our environment (recycling, saving water, using less cars, etc.).

STEP 2: You will gather information about the issue you have been assigned.
