Es tracta d'una activitat de warm-up per repassar les descriptions físiques de la cara (hair, eyes, face,...). Són descripcions molt curtes que poden anar fent els alumnes en veu alta suggerint nous adjectius a les imatges que van veient. Ideal per estar projectat per tota la classe alhora.

working with adverts (2)

A higher level option to work with adverts is this funny ad based on national identities. A fill-in-the-gaps exercise helps the student understand the script. It is also very useful for the students to create their own video adverts based on their own national identities and use irony.

working with adverts (1)

La segona activitat que proposo és un listening molt senzill d'un anunci real a partir del qual es pot extreure el guió per després crear anuncis del mateix estil i gravar-los en video i publicar-los al blog. Es tracta d'una activitat que podria ser per primer d'ESO o cicle superior de primària destinada a introduir el present simple amb like / don't like. L'anunci té diverses versions, es poden visualitzar totes per poder agafar idees.

webquest on english culture

http://webquest.xtec.cat/ee2008/britishculture/index.HTM
He escollit una webquest perquè és una activitat per treballar en grup útil per les hores B on es pot treballar a l'aula d'ordinadors.
Aquesta webquest és útil per començar el curs ja que la temàtica és sobre la cultura anglesa i aclareix forces dubtes. La metodologia està molt ben explicada en l'apartat "tasques" de la webquest i es pot acabar fent una exposició oral del treball final. D'aquesta manera es treballa speaking, reading and writing. Les webquest solen ser activitats molt ben pautades on cada membre del grup té una tasca diferent i donen molta autonomia als alumnes alhora que es genera molt  d'"input".

I Wish That I Could See You Soon

 

I had to leave you in Galway
but i think about you every day
in the morning and in the afternoon
I wish that i could see you soon

and when i heard you i felt so fine
it was like there was
nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June
I wish that i could see you soon

I have no plans to meet you babe,
I had a million things to do babe,
But it hit my heart with a harpoon,
I wish that i could see you soon
-- The angels go
How long do you can't see her?
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do

-- go!

(not i see?)

Now that i'm across the sea i wonder if
you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find
a new boy to spoon
I wish that i could see you soon

And if you
wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
would be like bugs when they break through the cocoon
you know
I wish that i could see you soon

It has been a while
since i felt like this
and now i've found someone i really miss
under the sun
under the moon
I wish that i could see you soon
-- Angels!
How long do you can't see her
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
-- go!

(...)

How long do you can't see her
And i'm like, well, the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
And i'm like
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
And there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
no way to say and there's nothing i can do
