20 minutes. First, we are going to watch the new on CNN student news. This is a good site where you can watch the news for every day. It is a video, usually about 5 minutes long, so excellent listening practice.
Here is the video for December 6th:
Now it is time to send me an email with a summary of one of the pieces of news you have watched on the video. If the video has buffer problems, pause it and go on with the next activity.
Option 2 (in case you can't see the video).
Have you heard about the university students' strike in London? Read and listen about it here.
20 minutes (Only Joann's group):
It's time to practise listening for specific information and dictation. Each one of you is going to visit this site, choose the story that matches their number in the class, listen to the story (you can read it at the same time if you need to) and then do the dictation activity you can see at the bottom of the text.

ReplyDeletei have done the activities now becouse my computer in class didn´t work.
these are my results:
- vocabulary activity: 900 out of 1000
- geography activity: i am one fith level
- CNN Studen News: Nowadays, it is obvious that our society depends too mucho on technology. A school in Washington, during one week, is going to be completely unplugged. By this, they mean that they are not going to use neither mobiles, computers, facebook or twitter. Its part of a social experiment which is realized by students, teachers and staff. The teacher who carried out the idea said this was because people were losing the face to face contact. It is also said that they are going to put spies to control they are doing correctly their task.
What's up, Javier!

Obama did a surprise travel to Afghanistan to visit U.S.A. troops in that country, and he wanted to meet with Afghanistan president, Hamid Karzai, but he hadn’t enough time. Wikileaks’s leaks about the U.S.A. government are doing a lot of damage to Obama administration.
Hi, Javier.
ReplyDeleteI'm Ricado another time, sorry.

Hi Javier,
ReplyDeleteI`m Alvaro Garcia.
I have done the activities that yo said we had to do in class, buy my computer didn`t work these day, so i had to do it at home.
These were my results:
- vocabulary activity: 1000 out of 1000
- geography activity: level 8
- CNN Student News: Now our society depends a bit on the technology. A school of Washington for some days, it is going to be completely unplugged. Then, the reports of unemployment have risen and i think that it is bad because the people don`t have a job. I hope that it changes.
Bye.
