HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Bringin our students closer to the culture and history of the countries where English is spoken is as important as teaching them vocabulary or grammar. Therefore, today we have been working on Halloween, of course. First of all, I showed my students a video about the origins of Halloween, and then we did a Quizizz to check their understanding.

Here you have the video and some of the questions:

COLLABORATIVE WRITING: A DANGEROUS ADVENTURE

Today, students have prepared this activity in the classroom. In two groups, they had to write their own story, following the guidelines of the activity. Here you can see the result!

Complete one part of the story of a dangerous adventure.

Then, fold the paper over and pass it to the person on your left.

Last year my friend and I were feeling adventurous and so we decided to go to… (WHERE DID YOU DECIDED TO GO?)

In preparation for our trip, I had… (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?)

The day our adventure started, we were wearing… (WHAT WERE YOU WEARING?)

A little while later, we heard a growl. We turned around and saw… (WHAT DID YOU SEE AND WHAT WAS IT DOING?)

We immediately… (WHAT DID YOU DO?)

Later that day, we met a group of people who had been… (WHAT HAD THEY BEEN DOING?)

We thought it would be fun to spend some time with them so we decided to… (WHAT DID YOU DECIDED TO DO?)

The best thing that happened to us was on the last day… (WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST DAY?)

It was the perfect ending for our unusual adventure.

Group 1 Version

Group 2 Version

It was really funny and you can see both stories are completely different. Remember it is very important to foster students creativity too.

Until next time!

MY LAST TRIP

Now it's time to practise your writing skills; here you have a little activity!

Write about your last trip. What did you do?

Where did you go? Here you have an example:

My last holiday was fantastic. I went to the mountains in a place called Salalah in Oman. The mountains were so green and the people were so friendly. I visited many places like, forts, beaches, the hotels at night and I also went shopping in the grand mall. I stayed there for 10 days. The weather was really nice and it was great for camping. Therefore, we went camping on the mountains and made a small fire for a barbacue.

Now it is your turn! Good luck!
