Collaborative projects (again!)

This week, 2nd ESo students have started a new collaborative project. They have started to learn more about endangered species as the Siberian tiger, panda bears or whales. 

First of all, they have decided which animals they want to learn about. Afterwards, they have started browsing different sites and thanks to digital tools they are saving the information (features, habitat, why these animals are endangered...).

Once the information has been found, they are going to create a presentation, using either Canva, Glogster or Prezi. 

Today we want to show you how they have worked today. You will be able to see their productions soon.

Reports

Today you can read reports which 3rd ESO students have written. The aim of the task was writing a report aboout the positive and negative effectgs of electronic gadgets on the environment. They could check their textbook to find structures and tips about the organisation of the texts.

The topic was writing about the positive and negative effects of electronic gadgets in the environment and our lives.

Informal letters

Writing letters used to be very common.. Nowadays, we write emails or text family and friends, though. 

2nd ESO students have written informal letters where they had to tank somebody for a present they had received (it's their birthday!). They also had to describe what they were going to do to celebrate such an important date. Most of them have chosen to have a party with friends. We have only included a few of the letters written, given that they are very similar, but you can read about their plans.

What do you think?

Second ESO students have written a piece of work about some topics which may make you feel for or against. In this post you'll be able to read some of them.
The topics were provided by the teacher and they were free to find extra information or pictures to include in their texts.

Crime on newspapers

Today we want to show you some of the writings done by 3rd ESO students about crime. We have been learning vocabulary about crime and criminals and have used these words to write newspaper articles about them. We have also been learning how to use some connectors. Hope you like them.

Collaborative projects

This year we have introduced a new way of working. It is through collaborative tasks or projects. There are many different structures and systems, of course, but we have tried some of them so far. Using ICT tools, our students have produced nice projects and have learnt from each other in a natural and simple way.


One of our projects was about the reader during the first term. It is called The Phantom of the Opera. We worked in teams and helped each other to understand the plot, find information about the main characters, learn new words... It was an enjoyable activity. Below, you can see some pictures.

Human achievement

Humans have lived in the planet for centuries. There have been many important historical facts which have change our lives as the use of fire or the invention of the wheel. More recently, many people around the world have done and accomplished something important for us. Here you can browse and check some of the most important facts in our history.

2nd ESO students have done some research and have learnt many things about people who have meant a change in our planet. Most of them have worked in differnt fields durint the 19th and 20th centuries. Have a look.

Clicking here you will be able to learn more about Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon. Some other studens have searched about Martin Luther King, a man who fought for Civil Rights in the USA during the 20th century.

Below you can see some more examples.
