Now it is time to prepare some projects with my
students using an online tool called “Genially”, which is an interactive way
where you can do so many things:
First of
all, I must say that I split my 1ST ESO class into five groups –
every group was formed by two members – in the subject of ‘Lengua y Literatura’,
because my students felt more confident and comfortable and, overall, they preferred
to do their projects in that subject. For that reason, as I said in the reading
habits module, we thought that they could use this tool to make an oral
presentation about the books they were reading. I let them freedom choosing the
modality of Genially that they were going to use it. The only restrictions that
I did were that their presentations shouldn’t be more than five minutes and all
of them had to have:
- Put a photo of the book.
- Make a brief biography of the
author.
- Talk about the main and secondary
characters in the book.
- Do a summary of the plot without
saying the end of the book.
- Give their own opinion of the book
(if they liked or disliked it and why, giving reasons).
- Talk about the vocabulary of the
book, if it was difficult or not.
- And finally, if they would recommend
it or not and why.
These are the links to the projects realised by
my students:
By the way,
I couldn’t take any pictures of them, because some parents didn’t allow us to
do it, what is a pitty, because I would have been something great and cool for
the projects, but you know, “one man's meat is another man's poison”.
Last but not least, we have to remark the success
of using Genially, because from that moment most of the class has decided to
use, not only in our classes, but also in other subjects. Furthermore, their
learning experience has become increasingly aware of the importance of using
new technologies as part of our daily classes, achieving with them the
objectives that we pursue in our classes. For that reason, I wouldn’t change
anything of this project, because they are fulfilling our expectations better
than we thought at the beginning of the course.
