WRITING ACTIVITY
PLANING A PLAYSCRIPT

You need to be prepared for your final project, the representation of a chapter of the play Oliver Twist, so, in order to practice your writing skills and practice for the project, you will have to follow this template to plan and write a playscript.

AMERICAN SUPER BOWL

As you already know, in this Unit my students are creating their own cities. One of the tasks is to include a festivity, so today I've talked about the American Super Bowl.

As they have to create their own festivity for their cities, they will be given an example: The Super Bowl Day. I have created an infographic with the most interesting facts about this celebration of the US:

Then, they will have to invent their own festivities and, at home, they will write a composition talking about a celebration we have in Andalusia, because I also want them to value the Andalusian culture.

Presentation: Brainstorming: Festivities in Andalusia.
Practice: Look at the American Super Bowl infographic.
Production: Work in groups and create a festivity for your city.

HW: Write about a festivity we celebrate in Andalusia and highlight the most interesting aspects of the celebration.

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!

COMPLETE THE STORY

WRITING ACTIVITY

Hi everyone! In order to practice gerunds and infinitives, I have proposed my students the following activity:

Step 1: Students will be asked to tell the teacher verbs followed by gerund first, and then verbs followed by the “to” infinitive. Then, we will complete a wheel using this web. Here is the wheel we created:

Step 2: It's time to complete the story. The teacher will write on the board the beginning of a story. Then, he/she will spin the wheel and the students will have to continue the story using the verb that appears on the wheel. They will have one minute to complete the story before the teacher spins the wheel again.

Step 3: Peer-correction. Students will give their story to a classmate who will check if they have used the verbs properly. They can ask the teacher for help whenever they need it.
