Edpuzzle

My idea is to make a little of flipped classroom with music, something they usually like, even though this time it's me who chooses the band...

I will ask them to watch this video at home and pay attention to the final speech of the organiser of the concert:

Next day in class we will watch the full video again and finally we with work with Edpuzzle. I have edited the video and selected only the final part, the part where the organiser of the concert explains the reason for that concert, that's what I'm most interested that students pay attention to. 

I have previously created a class and students have received an invitation, so today they will be allowed to use their mobile phones in class to do the Edpuzzle task, namely, answer the questions I have inserted in the video:

This is my first experience with Edpuzzle and I have chosen a short video imported from Youtube. My intention is, once I know how it works and the potential it has, prepare longer videos with more and varied activities, not just the typical gap fill activity.

Final activity

  The activity I liked the most is the TimeToast approach by María Pino Rodriguez (ENGLISH4FUN WITH TEACHER MARÍA). It’s a very different approach from the one I carried out, she worked with the whole class whereas I let students work on their own, autonomously. I could do it because of the characteristics of my group (ESO 3, English workshop, 19 high level students), but with 1ESO, 30 low level students group María’s approach is better, I think. I have 2 classes with my group next week and will try to do an activity to celebrate Christmas by talking about the life of Jesus from a historical point of view. Steps I will follow: I will divide the activity in two sessions: Session 1: I will present the activity (why we cellebrate Christmas, origin of the name Christmas and the figure of Jesus), the aim and, finally, what I want them to do at home (make a little internet research about Jesus’ life facts Session 2: Divided in several steps: 1. Brainstorming

Pixton

Well, it seems that Pixton has changed its policy and now students can't share or download their projects, so here I insert some pictures of a 1ESO group: For the 1st session I divided the class in 4 students groups and asked them to prepare a "script" or a simple plot for the comic strip and asked them to bring one mobile phone per group to school for session 2. In class, they registered using their corporate Google accounts, and during session 2 they got familiar with the website. Finally in session 3 they finished their projects, it's a shame they were no able to download or share it. They were free to do what they liked, under my surveillance and help for grammar, vocabulary or even the plot itself. They didn't have much fun with the dialogues and texts in general but they loved the final result for sure. Next time I use Pixton, instead of letting them do a comic about anything they like, I will make a "monographic" comic contest, I mean, one day it
