APLE COMPUTER ROOM LESSON FEBRUARY 21st
Hi Students,
I hope you have improved your glogs during the weekend.
Today we are going to do an activity regarding films. I don't know if the Internet connection and our technical problems will spoil the activity. I ask you to be patient because if it works, it may be a very funny lesson.
For this activity you need to work in pairs. 1&2, 3&4, etc.
This is the activity we are going to do. We are visiting this page:
You have to choose one clip from a Bollywood film. My suggestions are number 3, number 4, number 8 or number 2 (new). The first thing you have to do is to watch the clip several times. Then, it is the time to write your script for the clip and to divide the characters. If it is a woman and you are a man, you will have to make a woman's voice and so on. Once everything is clear, it is time to dub the clip.
On the top right hand corner, choose "microphone" and when everybody is ready, click on "record". Remember you will all be using the same microphone, so hold in in your hands.
When you finish recording, click on stop, listen to the clip with your audio and if you are happy with it, fill in the information at the bottom. Give the clip a title, write your names, your email address, my email address (javiprofeingles@hotmail.com) and click on "send".
Cross your fingers with our Internet connections.
Have fun

APLE COMPUTER LESSON February 11th
Hi students,
Today I'm sick at home (I think it's flu), so I won't be able to stay with you in the classroom. Joann will be in the classroom next door and will keep an eye on you from time to time.
Depending on what you have already done, there are 4 things you can do. For some of them, you will need your headphones. Get the number that corresponds to the number you have in your computer.
-Option 1: If you didn't do your voicethread about discrimination yesterday, you can still do it in the class now. Remember it is on this blog.
-Option 2: If you haven't finished your glog yet, you can also work on it, finding the picture, looking at ways to describe the picture or just recording the description and the reason to choose that picture.
-Option 3. If you have been a good student and have done the two previous options, you can play this game. It is a memory game, but with sounds instead of letters or images. It looks easy, but it is not that simple.
You can play game 1 and game 4.
