CHRONOLOGY OF INVENTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS

IN OUR CLASS OF 6TH PRIMARY WE ARE IN AN ETWINNING PROJECT ABOUT MEDIA LITERACY AND DISINFORMATION.

WE HAVE STARTED WITH THE TELEVISION. 

BUT IN THIS PROJECT WE WILL SEE AND WORK THE CHRONOLOGY OF INVENTION.

WE USE THE COMPUTERS AND I GIVE THEM THIS PAGE TO WORK ON. THE TEXT IS LONG BUT IT IS EASY TO  READ BECAUSE IT IS A LIST OF WORDS. I THINK IT IS EASY FOR THEM TO WORK ON THIS TEXT.

WITH THIS PAGE THEY HAVE TO USE ONLY THE MEDIA MEANS.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE ACTIVITY IS TO KNOW WHAT THE MEDIA MEANS ARE AND THE NAME OF THEM IN ENGLISH. SO THAT, THE PROJECT IT WILL BE EASIER FOR THEM.

IT IS EASY TO DO A TIMELINE, BUT WE HAVE WORKED THE TEXT IN A BIG GROUP OF CLASS. WE HAVEN´T DONE IT INDIVIDUALLY. 

WE HAVE READ THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE TEXT AND THEM, WE HAVE DECIDED WHAT TO PUT IN THE LINE. 

WE HAVE NEEDED THREE HOURS TO DO IT: FIRST ONE, THEY HAVE THE TEXT, THEY READ IT AND THEN THEY NOTE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES ON THEIR NOTEBOOKS. SECOND ONE, WE SPEAK ABOUT THEIRS NOTES AND WE MAKE A BRAINSTORMING ON THE BLACKBOARD. FINALLY WE DO THE TIMELINE .

THE PROBLEMS IN THIS ACTIVITY IS THE LEVEL OF READING OF MY STUDENTS. THEY NEEDED THE DICTIONARY FOR SOME WORDS IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL READING TIME.

NEXT TIME, I WILL LET THEM DO ONE BY THEMSELVES. I THINK IT IS EASY AND THEY CAN DO IT REALLY WELL. 

THREE WAYS TO USE THE TIMELINE:

- FOR THE PRESENT SIMPLE IN DAILY ROUTINE: A TEXT OF A PERSON TALKING ABOUT HER DAILY ROUTINE IN A WEEK. SO THEY CAN DO A TIMELINE WITH THE WEEK AND THEIR CHORES.

- WHEN THE STUDENTS LEARN ALL THE TENSE VERBS: A STORY WITH A LOT OF MOMENTS IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

- FESTIVITIES IN ENGLAND AND THE CHRONOLOGY.

READING STRATEGIES

  Reading strategies   It is important to know in which level you are having this kind of type of reading. For instance, it is not the same at the first level of primary as in secondary. It is essential to have a progressive level in reading. When they are too young, reading is not a good idea because they are still learning to read in their mother tongue language. So, you have to be careful because children can get confused. So, at the first level vocabulary and reading vocabulary is the most important. Little by little you can add sentences to those readings. When I give a reading to my pupils, we first look for that important words that children cannot understand and we talk about them. This is very important. They don´t have to know all of the words, but there are some which are really important to be able to understand the complete text. When they are a bit older, it is important also to guess what is the theme of the text looking at an image, or a headline, or th...

INTERACTION

  6.4. INTERACTION I have seen some of the blogs my partners have published and I think all of them are really good. I like it the genially activity of Marta the teacher. I think it is very simple and, at the same time, very complete. As I have written in my comment to her blog, it is an activity that can be done with different themes. I am going to do with my student something similar but with the back of our Christmas holidays. The image will be done according to our students talk about. The question is: What did you do last Christmas? So, they work the past simple. If they say: I went shopping, they will put the image of a shop…. I hope my idea works. These all are the comments I have done to some of the blogs.
