Group: Cristina Coll, Alaia Millat, Paula Molina, Alícia Muñoz, Pau Pérez

Name of the activity:  Tricky post-its! 

This activity consists of a scavenger hunt through which the children will work on prepositions and school-related vocabulary. To do this, they will use augmented reality: they will have to scan some post-its, where they will find an exercise to solve and a clue about where to find the next challenge.

• • Target Age: Fourth of primary.

  • Target Language Level (based on CEFR): A1-A2

  • Location: classroom and playground

We have chosen to work on:

1. To understand instructions addressed carefully and slowly to them and follow short, simple directions. (pg. 51. Understanding announcements and instructions). Reception

2. To interact in a simple way, but communication is totally dependent on repetition at a slower rate, rephrasing and repair. Can ask and answer simple questions, initiate and respond to simple statements in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics. (pg. 72. Overall oral Interaction). Interaction

3. To show only limited control of a few simple grammatical structures and sentence patterns in a learnt repertoire. (pg. 132. Grammatical accuracy). Communicative Language Competences (Linguistic Competence)

• Experiment with Augmented Reality to solve the challenge.

• Use the English language to communicate with peers and complete the task in groups.

• Put the correct grammar structures in practice in order to create the asked sentences

• Create sentences with the correct prepositions.

• Materials

  • Link to the app: https://apps.apple.com/es/app/note-share-augmented-reality/id1462567111?l=ca 

  • Handouts laminated(see at the bottom)

  • Whiteboard markers

  • Clues (see at the bottom)

  • White paper & Coloured Pens

  • Equipment: IPad (has to be Apple)

  • Additional materials needed

It is important to take into consideration that if we do not set up any previous rules to students we could have problems about who scan the codes and who writes the answers. So possible solution could be to set 2 main rules such as:

1. Every time that students as a group scan a QR code, the students have to pass the device to another student of the group

2. The same happens with the laminated worksheets so each student would have to write with his/her whiteboard marker (each student has a different colour)

Moreover, a possibility of improvement for the activity would be to assign numbers to each post-it so that the students would start the activity at different points and would not cross each other, in this case the route would have to be circular.
