INTERACTION

 We are close to say goodbye to this interesting course about a wide range of digital resources to use in class, but before I finish I have been looking up the different blogs created by the participants where they have shared their ideas and experiences and this provides enrichment for everybody.

I liked the Edpuzzle  from Ángela´s blog since it´s about the topic we are working in class and it helps the students to practice listening and speaking. The activity is structured in Pre task, Task and Post task with clear objectives. 

I will now plan a Edpuzzle activity with my group. 

Project: Planning a trip and writing a postcard.

1. Create groups of three students.

2. Watch the Edpuzzle video. Answer then questions and write down the different expressions they have used in the video.

3. Choose a day trip destination.

4. Write a list with the activities you can do in your trip.

5. Think and answer these questions. Who is the postcard for? What is the postcard about? 

6. Find a photo for your postcard. 

7. Write your postcard.

8. Include a name, an address and the photo on your postcard.

9. Send it through the post-office.

Thanks to Ángela´s blog for her idea to use Edpuzzle for this project.
