Another important technological tool has been implemented this week. I´ve had the chance of creating a Power Point interactive activity: “Building-up puzzles”.
By means of this tool, students will be able to:
· Use an interactive activity created by themselves.
· Include specific vocabulary and grammar learned in the process.
· Solve puzzles made by their partners.
· Develop group-work abilities.
· Reinforce previous knowledge.
· Think critically.
· Get self-assessment after solving their partners´ puzzles.
In my opinion, puzzles result to be a kind of a small quiz.
The interactive activities will be reflected after students post their puzzles in their own blogs, since my final project has to do with guiding them to create their own blogs where they will be periodically adding work made by themselves.
At the end of the period/level, the speaking abilities will be also developed when students are asked to report to the class their experiences about having learned to create blogs, build-up puzzles, and post them in their blogs.
As for reading skills, they will be also applied when students read the instructions for completing the puzzles.
Even critical thinking will be used while solving alternative words to complete the spaces provided, after word definition analysis, or oriented instructions given, to fill out the illustration of the puzzle.
I added a motivational video taken from You tube, to catch the participants´ attention and interest.
A final puzzle with all of the level contents would be ideally used for a contest
I´m posting my Power Point activity in the Wiki Power Point Files, with a topic example.
Warm regards,
