Hi Ana,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love the video that you chose for this activity. It is very funny, and I think for children it is fantastic because they will laugh a lot. Also, it is perfect for daily routine activity. About the last activity (3rd person- present simple), I like your idea and I think it is a good task so that children practise present simple. The only thing I would change is that in some sentences there is more than one option, for example: "Drake ___: dancing", you can use "hates" or "enjoys" but only "enjoys" is correct. If you pick “hates”, the game says it´s not a correct answer. As a suggestions, I would use verbs that only fit or make sense in one of the sentences.
About your blog, I think you have done an amazing job. Browsing is easy and instructions are clear and easy for children to follow. I am sure students will enjoy it as much as I did. Besides, the webs and apps you have used to create for activities are interesting, I have written down the one I didn´t know (Classnotes.net).
Well done Ana :D
Hi Patri! Thanks for popping by and pointing that out. I totally agree with you, the fact that there are 2 possible answers that could fit in the gap, might mislead learners and so the option you just mentioned, about limiting each gap to one word is often the way to avoid confusion. Thinking about it now, I wonder whether it could also be considered as an opportunity to generate classroom discussion among our learners. E.g. "Have you all used the word 'enjoys' in this gap? Is it the only option available? Bu generating this debate, you may be able to introduce the following learning concept: verbs such as like, dislike, hate, love, enjoy, etc. when followed by another verb, follow this structure --> like + verb + ing. I guess it would all depend on prior knowledge, taught lessons and the level of the students. Once again thanks for sharing. Feedback is always appreciated! All for the blog community hehe ;)
