PROCESS:

STEP 1: You are going to work in groups. You will define what your task will be everyday: What is each one of you going to do on a lesson? You are going to open a Google Drive Document as your Working Diary with the following points (share with your teacher):

• Date
• Each member task for the lesson.
• Aim of the day.
• What have you done today?
• Problems.

STEP 2: Look for the traditional tale you will work on, in the following link you will find plenty of them, just take one suitable for your group.

• Folk tales for kids.

Read the story, try to understand or look for the vocabulary your group or you don't understand.

Try to identify all the characters in the story, and in your group divide it who is going to be each one.

Each member of the group has to write down a description of it. Write the personal things and imagine what the likes and dislikes are.

• My name is ............
• I'm ............... years old.
• I'm (some adjectives).
• I like .............. (two sentences)
• I don't like ............. (two sentences)

TIP: Let's check grammar from CB page 143 and vocabulary from CB page 132 and 133

STEP 3: Let's introduce everybody your character to the rest of the people. We are going to do it using a new web tool: Blabberize . When you finish to create it you have to be sure where the URL, link, HTML or EMBED code is to place it in your final post.

STEP 4: A part of the final product will be a video recorded using a "croma", let's have a look to understand what we are trying to do.

For that purpose we are going to use the web tool: Touchcast. You need to prepare the script before recording the video. If you remember the aim of this task was to update the folk tale you chose.

Do you remember what the tense to talk about what's happening now is?

Along the script you have to use at least 10 sentences using present continuous.

TIPS: Use the grammar at CB page 144.

Also you will find useful time expression like: Today, now, at the moment, right now .....

STEP 5: Let's record the video using Touchcast but in our MinIpads. In the following tutorial you will know how to deal with it. Please read it very carefully before start.
