Creating amazing mind maps in 3 ESO

This week in Readers, we are learning how to make our work original, interesting and truly amazing. How? you may ask yourselves… We take a chapter in our book “My Teen Life in India”, in this case the chapter called “8th May”, and read it in groups of three students. The task at hand is making a simple mind map…but the CHALLENGE is that the mind maps have to be original, creative and full of ideas. Each group have to make their mind map theirs, something that is even more difficult as they are all working on the same, rather short, chapter. They also have to manage time and decide the format of their mind map. The thinking process has begun…
Here are some photos from the process and hopefully next week, we can share the amazing work they will have done by then.

 

Reading Lord Arthur Sevile’s Crime and Other Stories

In second ESO we are continuing the second story in the book “Lord Arthur Sevile’s Crime and Other stories”

As an introduction the students have to match words with pictures.

This introduces the students to new vocabulary in the book and gets them thinking about the forthcoming story.

We had an interesting discussion in class why they had used specific words to describe the person in the picture.

I asked student if they had heard of the expression (idiom) “Don’t judge a book by its cover”

Below is an internet link that explains the expression.

As we will find out in the story the characters aren’t what we expect them to be!

Students became teachers!

Hi everyone,

The kids in 5th A  have been teaching their classmates. Each group learnt about one part of the unit “The Middle Ages” : Al-Andalus, Reconquista, Medieval cities… then they explained to the rest of the class .

It was a good experience for them and they enjoyed it.

Blockly games

Hi everyone,

here we have a website we have been using in CAS ROBOTS’ lessons in order to develop computational thinking. It might be used for whatever age and they are really funny! The higher you go the more difficult the games are. They really look easy at the beginning but they aren’t. They are definetly a big challenge!

Hope you give it a good use!
