Reading strategies in classroom

These are the steps I use to follow when working on reading skill: 
 1. Students have a look at the text, along with some pictures to help them to contextualize. 
 2. I provide them a short list with possible difficult words. 
 3. They deduce what the story may be about. 
 4. If the story is available with the ebook I play on the interactive board a few times while students try to follow the reading. If not, I say the text at a moderate speed. 
 5. Afterwards, I demand some of them to read it aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation. 
 6. They read it silently at their own pace. 
 7. We all speak about the text, trying to get the general meaning. 
 8. They answer some specific questions about it. 
 9. We all check the answers.

The texts worked in class are those based on their close experience and attending the relevant grammar and highlighted vocabulary. These will be adapted to the level of the students according to their needs.

Genially

 First I we make the groups and introduced them the app, picked the free modality and started to see the functionality of the web.

Here, they divided the task: one looked for general information about the country, other about famous people, the other finding pictures...My help here consisted in simplify the language used to make them comprehensible for them and for the audience. They worked at home too, because of the bad condition of school laptops and they showed me the progress made. Here, they told me about some problems because sometimes they did the same work and did not progress as they wanted to. After a few sessio

New genially activity

 I like the genially activity by Sahman Taslimi.  I will now plan a genially activity for my group.  Since I have already worked with genially in class, students are familiarized with the app and will be ready and keen to do it again. So, I propose to work on emotions through emoticons.  LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. To be aware of emotions in our lives. 2. To recognize emotions when happened by analyzing our feelings. 3. To use the language properly by designing and making a diary with the emotions and the reasons why they felt that way. 4. To use correctly the app, getting the best of it.
