Also known in Australia as roos, this fascinating animal always motivates our students very much. This activity might be suitable for year 3 Primary School students or older.
With this presentation created on TOME.APP which uses AI our students can practise their reading skills.
For example by reading together in small cooperative groups, where the unknown words can be searched on the dictionary. They could also, once they´ve read it all, take turns to read and explain in front of the rest of the class the part of the presentation they worked on.
This cooperative technique is called PUZZLE, and consists on preparing different parts of a bigger task individually or in small groups and finally put it all together.
Go to the site and click on the play icon to watch the presentation (top right corner).
I hope you liked this idea that I had just to honour the name of this blog. See ya mate!
Good morning, Gonzo! I really like the activities because you use themes that are appealing to the students. Furthermore, I think it's a great idea that the activities are designed to be done in groups or cooperatively, because this always facilitates the students' learning. Thank you for sharing these activities!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I would like to suggest a tip. It would be a great idea if you use more engaging resources in your activities. For example, using different colours, attention-grabbing images... This might further increase their motivation and, as a result, enhance their learning. Thank you very much for sharing your blog, my friend!
Hi Monica, thank you very much for your feedback. I don´t agree with the second part of your comment though, as I have done this activities in class and they always worked very well for us, so they were quite engaging. Considering that this is my first blog and no one taught me how to do it, I think I fulfilled the requirements of the task quite decently (see the document objectives and assessment criterion). Thank you anyway!
