Madlipz

 As we have been watching in class the pronunciation, yesterday we dedicated ourselves to use the application of madlipz to work and improve our pronunciation and intonation for this we made three videos that I will attach to this blog post. I found it a very interesting and fun activity to work on this topic, so I think it can be a very useful tool for activities within the classroom. 

Phrasal verbs

 In the last classes we have been looking at phrasal verbs, and I found it interesting after researching different pages that are verbs that are difficult for people to learn. So I was looking for didactic tools to learn this unit, and I got a game that I would like to share here.  Game Game  2

Ipsative Assesment

 In today's class we talked about ipsative assessment, we reflected a little on the importance of not evaluating all students equally, since not all are in the same family, technological and linguistic circumstances.  For this we saw two quite interesting videos, where you can see how each person has gone through a different situation.  In the first video, we can see a race where they make people who have had more facilities during their lives take two steps from the starting line, and not because of decisions they themselves have made but because of family decisions or external contexts, and the people who have had more difficulties throughout their lives stay at the main starting line and in the end we come to the conclusion that privileged people have an easier time achieving their goals.    From this video I can reflect that in this way we are in different boxes and in the end we end up having things in common with others about situations from our past, and not only that but in

Passive in songs

In class, I was very impressed by the example songs that were given to us where we could see the forms of passive, so that same afternoon I started to look for videos about compilations of songs where they could be seen, since it seems to me that with examples it is the best way to learn, and what better than with music that we like? So I'll leave you with some of the videos I liked on this subject.  I liked this video a lot because it has songs that I like, both from my favorite movies and from one of my favorite series which is glee.  I wanted to share this one because it has a song by my favorite group, goner, which is by twenty one pilots.    Finally I leave this video that I also liked because it was the songs I used to listen to when I was in high school, plus it also has songs from Disney movies that I grew up with.  I think it's a very good option to exemplify this kind of thing with songs, since this way it's much easier and funnier to be able to identify the theme

Project 3: Interactive poster. The process.

Imagen
 For project number 3 we have to make an interactive poster with different activities and resources that we can use within our classrooms, both games, videos, listenings, etc. After thinking about different topics that I could use I decided to do it about space, the solar system and the planets, since it is a pretty interesting topic and from which you can get a lot of ideas. The class I chose is the five year old one, since this topic is a bit complex for a 3-4 year old class, so from this I already started looking for different resources I could use. With this idea in mind, I made the poster in canvas so I could later move it to thinglink and include all the resources I wanted to use.  This is the poster that i made in canva

Modal Verbs

 In the last two classes we studied the modal verbs with a very interactive application where the teacher put both the presentation and various exercises that we had to answer. This was nearpod. Regarding modal verbs we have the following verbs: can, could, may, might, shall, should, must, have to, will, would, ought to, had better. Each of these has a different function although some of them are similar but are used depending on the situation. In summary we have learned the following:   Can: is used for ability, permission, offers.  Could: is used for possibility, past ability, permission, request.  Have to: is used for obligation.  May: is used for possibility, permission.  Might: is used fot slight possibility, past form of may in reported speech.  Must: is used for obligation and logical deduction.  Mustn't : is used for prohibition.  Should: is used for advice and logical deduction.  Ought to : is used for advide and logical deduction.  Shall: is used for future tense
