Project 3

Good afternoon!
In this third project we have focused as the main theme on plants.
This project is an interactive poster, in which content on different media is mixed; videos, images, ...
In this way we can work in a much more dynamic way with children.
In this project we have used the genially program. Then we have selected the videos and images with which we were going to work.
To carry out this project in a class we will use two sessions more or less.
On the digital screen we will first display the video about the parts of the part. Then the children will read the picture about the parts of the plant and then they will do the crossword.
After that we will explain the cycle of plant life through an image.
Next, we will watch a video about pollination and then the children will answer a question to make sure they have understood the concepts explained in the video.
Later we will watch another video that explains photosynthesis and after this the children will perform comprehension exercises.
Then through an image they will make a reading about how a plant grows.                                                      	
Finally, we will visualize the last video on how to take care of plants and what benefits they have.

Entrance 11

Today is 12/10/20 we are going to start with Unit 5 and we are going to explain the passive voice, during the class we use nearpod to combine the presentation of topics, video that complement the explanation, games and exercises.

To begin with the passive voice, he explained why and when we should use it, which was an active voice and a passive voice (Image 1). I will now explain that there are two types of passive voice (Image 2) with their corresponding examples.

He then went on to explain the different verb tenses passed on to passive voice.

The causative passive voice left a clear example of how the have/get works below:

We can also find other forms of passive voice such as be + participle, need and impersonal. Below are some of the examples he gave in class.

These were some of the explanations that José Belda gave us about passive voice, after which he passed on the material he has created to explain it.

Entrance 10

 Today's lesson (6/10/20) was dedicated to relative prayers by our teacher. The first thing he explained to us is that it serves to join two or more sentences using relative pronouns.

 We begin with the new subject matter which is relative sentences, used to provide information about someone or something. Such information may be fundamental to understanding what or who is being referred to, or it may be supplementary, not necessary at all.

Therefore, we can find the defining relative sentences, which are the ones that provide essential information, such information goes immediately after the noun they describe. Likewise, non-definitive relative sentences are usually between commas (they are not necessary to understand who or what is being referred to).

For relative sentences there are several types of relative pronouns that we can use to make them.

• Who, (quien, quienes): Used only with personified people or animals.

• Whom (el cual, la cual, los cuales, las cuales, que): Used only with people (more formal than "who").

• Which (el cual, la cual, lo cual, los cuales, las cuales, lo que, que): Is used only with animals, objects o things.

• Whose (de quien,  de quienes, de la cual, de los cuales, de las cuales, del cual, cuyo, cuya, cuyos, cuyas): Is used with persons and expresses possession.

• That (same translation as who and which): Used interchangeably with people and things. It can replace "who" and "which" except in the non-defining relative clauses¹

• What: (que) Used in actions or situations.

• Where: (adónde, hacia donde) Used to refer to places.

• When: (cuando) Used to refer to reasons

• Why: (porque) It is used to refer us to things.
  

That (same translation as who and which): Is used interchangeably with people and things. It can replace "who" and "which" except in the non-defining relative clauses.

• What: Used in actions or situations.

• Where: Used to refer to places.

• When: Used to refer to reasons

• Why: It is used to refer us to things.

Examples of some of the relative pronouns:

• Who: John is the man who works with me 

• Whom: Goleman is the writer whom I met at the supermarket).

• Which: That's a book which tells you how it is the story.

• Whose: That's the girl whose brother plays in the NBA.

• That: It's a machine that makes bread.

• What: That's what I meant.

It is essential to understand the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses if you want to use relative clauses correctly. Relative sentences add extra information to a sentence to define a noun. However...

The definition of relative sentences adds essential information to a sentence and the sentence cannot be omitted. There are also non-defining relative sentences that add non-essential information to a sentence and can be left out of a sentence without changing its meaning.

In turn, after explaining the relative pronouns and how to use them. I will now tell you the types of sentences that exist, which are as follows:

For this, in the Nearpod through which he transmits all his knowledge to us so that if it had not been clear to us he explained again how to use relative pronouns and more examples. He also taught us image to see the differences between Degining vs Non-defining as the image you can see below.

 

             

I also explain when the relative pronoun can be omitted, in which cases relative sentences can be reduced and when the relatives go with prepositions.

To conclude, he explained the following particles that we can see in the following picture.

 Nowadays anyone who is self-taught can learn whatever they want, we the other day studied the modal verbs and on the internet we can find a lot of resources such as different schemes, videos, lots of documentation that can help us learn the modal verbs. Here are some images that we have been able to find on some websites.

There are also videos that we can find on the internet that help us to better understand modal verbs and we can also find pages with exercises that help us to practice the grammar we are concerned with and that give us feedback. So that we can be self-taught and after doing the task we can know that we have done well and that we have made mistakes and know why.

Some pages with exercises and the solution are the following:

Some pages with videos explaining the modal verbs. are the following:

To conclude, we would like to forget about the class that our teacher gave us in a master class to introduce us to modal verbs, which helps us a lot and provides us with a lot of information.

Entrance 8

 On October 5th we did the first quitz of the first three topics we gave in the classroom which were the following:

Unit 1: Past tenses

 

We carry out the following activities in the moodle of each of the units we work on in class.

 

 Unit 2: Future and conditionals

 

We carry out the following activities in the moodle of each of the units we work on in class.

 

Unit 3: Modal verbs

 

We carry out the following activities in the moodle of each of the units we work on in class.

 

That day we logged in for ten minutes in the virtual classroom, to enter at 12 o'clock with the Moodle to do the first quiz which consisted of thirty questions. You have ten questions about the Modle and twenty questions about grammar. It allows us to go forward and then go back to review and answer any unanswered questions.

Entrance 7

    We will continue with the relative sentences with prepositions and other types which we will now set out.

    Let's start with relative sentences with prepositions. We must say that often relative sentences contain prepositions and a relative pronoun which is the object of the preposition. In everyday English the preposition is usually placed at the end of the relative sentence and the pronoun can be included or omitted. In formal English the preposition precedes the relative pronoun, and in this case the relative pronoun cannot be omitted.

    Everyday example:

        Is that the woman you arrived with?

     Formal example:

        Is that the woman you arrived with?

    Furthermore, the relative pronoun can only be omitted when it is the object of the sentence. When the relative pronoun is the subject of the sentence, it cannot be omitted. Generally, you can tell when a relative pronoun is the object of the sentence because it is followed by another subject + verb.

Entrance 6

 One day in the classroom we worked on the consonants:

Specifically the sounds, how the consonants are pronounced individually and in words.

We also worked on sound consonants and deaf consonants and whether they vibrate:

Another thing we worked on was occlusive sounds and different sounds of simple and compound consonants.

It was a very enjoyable class as it helped us to practice the different sounds from home.
