STATING POSITIONS: GRANVILLE ISLAND PROJECT

Image
My students have been working hard these days and the resulting work is as awesome as the padlet board below. They have been debating about a huge mass tourism project a real estator is planning to develop on Granville Island, a tropical haven in the Caribbean. Regional authorities, conservationists and journalists held a real meeting... in class! The students performed different roles to try and reach an agreement on whether the whacking seaside resort should be developed, which will also help them rework modal verbs. Anyone asking for more!?

A COVER LETTER

Image
My C1 students have been preparing earnestly to share their first writing with our online community! A cover letter. The tasks we did in class included learning useful expressions for cover letters, studying models and correcting their draft versions. Eventually, they shared their writings on google drive. I feel really proud of their work. No doubt more writings are about to make the scene, but far and away less challenging than the first one!

THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATIVE WORK

Our last class on unit 1 was partly devoted to revising some of the work collocations we had been working with. I tried to give it a nice atmosphere by adding a new tool: Mentimeter . Students worked in groups to come up with employment expressions after watching a video on how to ace a job interview. I hope they have enjoyed the lesson as much as I did. And this is how I prove it: Work and Employment vocabulary de Paula Gómez

Sharing is caring... so, let´s care!
