Aggregated Content Curation

 

Pinterest is an excellent content curation tool that has be chosen to group different acitivities of plants. Many people use this tool. In this way, those who are interested in teaching the unit of plants will be able to see 5 pins that I consider essential to use in class. Moreover, you can search for new content related to the topic you are teaching about and adding new pins when you want! That appears in the right-top of this blog.

1- The fist one is a video that you can search on YouTube. It will be very useful for introducing the topic essential to be watched by the children. That´s because the success of the kids in the next activities will depend on the reproduction of tis video.

2- Then, they will complete a worksheet to know if they have paid attention to the video. They have to fill the blanks with the name of the parts of a plant.

3- In the third activity, they will have to read a "book" of storyjumper. The clear explanations and the images will help the students to know how plants grow. 

4 - There are some steps they can follow at home if they want to plant a seed. It´s more meaningful for students to have an active role and build their knowledge. How would you put that in practise better than planting their seeds?

5- Finally, they can visit the wordwall website and complete a quiz about plants. Teachers will be able to see how much have their students learnt.

  1. Nice post Diego! I really liked the idea of making practical tasks in class and reading a book! These activities imply meaningful learning. I've just followed your Pinterest board since plants are a great part of Science content. Good scaffolded planning - that's a great CLIL teachers' characteristic.

StoryboardThat

  The tool that has been chosen to make the comic is StoryBoardThat. It´s very useful for students that want to create a comic because of the next reasons:     -  You don’t have to watch one hundred videos on YouTube to know how to use it. It´s very simple.     - Although it isn’t a complex tool, it has a lot of characters and scenes to create a personalised comic.     - Characters have different positions and facial expressions.     - You can decide the format of your comic, adding more strips if you need it. As regards the topic I have chosen, I think students must know the importance of working hard to achieve their goals. In this way, they will be able to work as doctors, teachers, police men, football players or whatever they want. Moreover, it´s good to remind them that during the history, a lot of people haven’t had the opportunity to take their decisions, such as slaves, farmers, black people or girls.  Made with Storybo...

BACK TO 1256 - VIDEO CLIP

The video we have created can be visualised by fourth grades in the area of Social Science. In this way, students will be able to compare and analyse some differences between the present and the past (XIII century): Awesome landscapes that have been replaced by buildings and roads. Healthy food that has been substituted by fast food. Male supremacy which is being switched into gender equality.  In the video, a couple from the present travel in time to 1256 thanks to an awesome dream. There, they meet an other loving couple who show them habits, attitudes and landscapes they have in that period of time. In this line, the “modern couple” exchange with them their own belongings such as masks and doritos. Moreover, they emphasise the importance of the equality among men and women, what seemed to be impossible to achieve during the 13th century.  The filming of the video has been possible due to a travel to Buitrago de Lozoya, a beautiful village located in the north of Madrid.
