It is an incredible post! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIn this case you are using a tool I have never heard about and it is really interesting. You give all the explanations needed and you also describe the recommended age for the activity and the skills they can improve by doing this exercise. I think it is very important because when searching for already made activities it is necessary to know for whom are those exercises designed.
I really like the fact that you mention the evaluation. You say that the creativity will be taken into account in the final evaluation so this way, students can be more motivated and they will make a lot of effort to get it.
The only thing I will be afraid of is that I think it can be a bit complicated to include all the features you mention. Maybe they can be experts or they can know a lot about that topic but imagine that students aren’t good at this subject, so they will need more help.
To conclude, the structure you use, the explanations you give and all the presentation in general is fantastic, even though I would have used more colors to motivate students. Congratulations again!
I'm very glad you liked It:)
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the fact that this blog may be complicated but I think that it can be useful for students that have a high level in English for example, students of a bilingual school
Hello! Posts like these are what having a blog is all about, it is a really useful link to a fun, motivational exercise. The way you have explained how you would carry out the activity is helpful too. This is a great CLIL activity which reinforces solar-system vocabulary, although it could be challenging for primary students who have less than a B1 level maybe? Thank you!
