Last activity: Fashion lesson

Considering everything learned so far, we will make a fashion show in class.

1.- First of all, choose a friend of you, because you're going to work in pairs.

2.- Now, all of you can go to the theatre room in school and try a costume.

3.- Each one will  prepare the description of his/her partner's outfit, as if it was a journalist broadcasting the fashion show. You have 10 minutes to do all of this.

NOTE: If you don't know how to say some costume accessory, look for it at the dictionary and write it down on a piece of paper.

Meantime, I (the teacher) have been separating tables and decorating the classroom, with papers simulating a gateway in the center.

By order of list, every "model" will performance the parade while its corresponding "journalist" describes his/her outfit.

The rest of the classmates will give your opinion about the descrption and the perfomance. After that, we'll join all the new words learnt in our classroom dictionary.

       I hope you'll like it!!

Read and draw my family photo

1.- In this exercise, you'll read a text. It's a description about my family photo, using the words you've learnt about clothes, positions, and family names. You have to read carefully, and when you've finished, you have to draw the picture of my family, following the descrption.

The text is on the next link:

I can't wait to see your drawings!! :))

2.- For the next session, (you have to do it at home before) write a text describing one of your family photographies (it must be real, you have to show this photo). You have to save your photo and give your describing text to your table partner. He/she have to draw the photo, following your description.

Then, show the photo to your partner. You two can work toghether now, looking for the differences between the real picture and your partner's drawing.

Have fun!

Improve your reading and spelling with family vocabulary

These are two vocabulary exercises. With them, you can practise the family words we've learnt in our 4th level of primary classroom.

1.- The J Cloze: You can work with it alone or in pairs, it's up to you, but I prefer that you work with it alone, because at this way you could see your own knowledge.

IMPORTANT! Take care in correct spelling: the computer will only understand words written properly and in lowercase. 

Click on the following link (it's written in blue). It will open you the exercise I've prepared for you:

 


JCloze of family tree     



2.- The CLEAR SMILE ACTIVITY: In the next link, you will find a drag-and-drop exercise. If you select the button You have to read the description of a family name, and the you have to choose the correct answer, choosing one of the red words. Drag the correct one and drop it next to the description.

I hope you enjoy it!

My first post in this blog

This is my first post in this blog, only for get the link and could start to prepare it...

Meanwhile, I have to say that all this blog will be made and thought for 4th primary level students, because I'm practising with this target at my PRACTICUM.

It will be a blog designed so that students can work from home, reinforcing the knowledge we have learned in class, and for their parents to know and follow what their children are working in school.

On the other hand, I also would like to use it as extension activities in class, so students who end up activities on this topic can deepen this knowledge.

I hope it would be useful for all of us.
