WHAT WAS THE NECESSITY OF INVENTING? LET'S DISCOVER!

    Hello everybody!  

   

In this post, we are going to work on the different and diverse reasons why inventions were invented. It is said that one reason for inventing was because people needed something. Inventions are made because of a need, in response to a necessity.

"NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION"

For example: The anaesthetic was invented to stop the person moving during an operation and to take away the pain.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORLD OF INVENTIONS?

  

Hello everybody!


We are back again with a new post about a new topic:
"The world of Inventions". It's going to be a unit where students will learn how inventions are written, what a invention is about and how we can define them and the last but not the least, we will meet different inventors in the world.

So, first of all, as a warming-up activity, we will watch this video where we can know something about some inventors and inventions.

However, the most important message in the video is: DREAM, THINK AND CREATE! Who knows! Maybe, there is a great inventor in our class, why not?

                                 

WHY DON'T WE ASK PARENTS TO INVOLVE IN OUR STUDENTS' LEARNING PROCESS?

Hello everybody!

We are ready to show our Cardboards and we are really proud of them. In our opinion, they are nice, creative and we have tried to be original.

It was a cooperative task where all the members had to take part to fullfil the task following a checklist. As we know, different skills are needed in this kind of activity, such as, get to an agreement, painting, clear handwriting, creativity and so on. In other words, as our main objective is to integrate students with different abilities or competences in the same project, it demands to figure out activities where several and different strategies are needed. That is, Inclusive Education is our main goal.

ARE WE A GOOD TEAM TO WORK TOGETHER?

HOW CAN WE GET FAMILIAR WITH IRREGULAR VERBS?

Hello everybody!

In this entry, we are going to work with the irregular verbs. That list of verbs that, sometimes,  it seems to be difficult to work with and memorize.

So, this is our way of working, it's a collaborative task, where, first of all, the individual work is necessary in order to take part in the exercise.

1. Students arec divided into different groups and work with some verbs.
2. After the teacher checks these verbs, students start completing the list with the help of their classmates.
