WORLD BOOK DAY 23RD APRIL, 2020
I would like to thank Marta Vicente for sharing this engaging strategy with me. Students need to click on the link to access the interactive map of Britain which will take them all across England through some of their masterpieces.
TASKS
B2.1 CLOZE
This is one the activities I do at the beginning of the lesson. Some of my students arrive a bit late because of their work schedule so I prepare activities that last for about eight minutes to give those late comers some time to join the lesson. This strategy or "Do Now" is at the same time, a kind of assessment or diagnostic test. It helps me know how much they remember from the previous day or how much they know about the new topic.
In this case, this passage is part of the audioscript of a video they are going to watch. By flipping the way in which we teach, we are helping the students to overcome the pitfalls they will encounter when watching the video making it easier for them but still challenging.

B2.2 UNSCRAMBLE THE SENTENCES
Students work individually for five minutes before the check their answers with their partner. In the resolution of this activity, they need to apply their grammar knowledge to create meaningful sentences applying critical thinking.
Once they have checked their sentences for two minutes, we check them as a class and five volunteers read the correct sentences.

B2.1 CLOZE & ORAL MEDIATION (8')
This passage is the audioscript of an activity they have to in their student's book. Before listening to it, I provide when with the text without warning them about it.
Once they have checked their answers with their partner, I show them the answers. They then read the text aloud to each other; together they work out the meaning of unknown words or they may ask two partners (ask three before you ask me).
B2.1 UNSCRAMBLE THE SENTENCES
Students work individually for four minutes before the check their answers with their partner. In the resolution of this activity, they need to apply their grammar knowledge to create meaningful sentences applying critical thinking.
