9 FEBRUARY - SAFE INTERNET INTERNATIONAL DAY
As you know, internet and ICTs are resources that we try to use in the classroom everyday because they bring us many benefits to the teaching-learning process. However, they also entail a series of dangers and problems that our students must know and be aware of.
Therefore, I
decided to show them a video related to this issue: A short video called I saw your willy. The video shows how a photo can go viral in just a few hours and how hard it is to control it once it has been shared.
Here's the video:
Some questions to make students think:
- Why did they share that picture? Was it necessary?
- What were the consequences?
- How that affected the boy?
After the video, they completed this worksheet to really become aware of what can happen if a photo goes viral:
- After the photo had been shared, what could he have done to make sure the bullying didn’t get out of hand?
And
remember... sometimes, less is more!
PROJECT UNIT 6
TV PROGRAMME
Unit 6 of our syllabus deals with the media. Thus, this time students
will simulate a TV programme in which they will commemorate our history by
talking about historical news. They will use THE PAST TENSES to explain the different events they
will mention. Click here to watch the project presentation video I created with Genially.
PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: You will be divided in groups and then you will choose an historical event to
include in your TV program.
STEP 2: You will write the script for your TV program.
FINAL
TASK: Finally, you will record the TV program. You can use an app, as I did, or you can just record yourselves in the school or at home. It's up to you!
3 DECEMBER: INTERNATIONAL
DAY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
THE PRESENT
As you know,
today the International Day of People with Disabilities is
celebrated. In the English classroom we have decided to watch this beautiful
short film: The Present.
It is a very
nice video that invites to reflection and highlights the importance of not
judging each others for not being perfect, or simply being different.
Our students
loved it and I prepared some question for them in order to make them think and
debate. It was a very interesting activity for a very special day.
Here you have
the short film:
Hope you like it!

BREXIT - BYE BYE UK!
As you may have
heard in the news o read in the newspapers, Brexit is already a reality. For
that reason, I decided to dedicate some time in the class to talk about this
issue with my students.
First of all, we
watched a short explanatory video to clarify all Brexit's aspects. After that,
we raised the debate: What do you think about this situation? Is it Brexit
benefitial for the UK? And for the rest of Europe?
Here is the
video we watched: Brexit explained in simple terms.
Have a nice week!
