I
would like to propose a task to be carried out in a group of 1º ESO
to develop their writing skill. I would make use of the application
PIXTON, since I regard it more appealing for these young students
(12-13 years-old). This activity should be developed in class to help
them to solve technical questions / problems.
ORGANIZATION
OF GROUPS
Students
would be organised in pairs (it is supposed that there are enough
computers to share
SEQUENCE
OF TASKS
Students
would be given a list of vocabulary and grammatical structures to
use. They would focus their attention on the use of the past
simple tense
and the thematic field of activities.
Previously, they would be shown an example of story created by
PIXTON, and they would also be taught the basic technical
knowledge
SPECIFIC
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
-
To develop
students´writing skill
-
To develop students´creativity
-
To reinforce pair work and cooperation
-
To reinforce students´technical knowledge
-
To practise the use of the past simple tense and the thematic field
of activities.
CREATIVITY
AND USE OF IMAGINATION
Students
would be lead to the creation of the story. They are free to choose
the characters, the setting , the scenes and the plot. However, the
teacher would control the content. Although they would be given the
specific vocabulary and grammatical structures, they could choose how
to develop their story.
It
is paramount to show the final activity to the other students. They
can learn with the other stories at the same time they get fun.
