USING DIGITAL DEVICES

Hello guys! Have you read page 30? Have you created an OUTLINE in your notebook? Good! This next activity is going to make you think, so sit properly and get ready to read the instructions!

1) We are going to combine NATURAL SCIENCE and SOCIAL SCIENCE in this activity. 

2) In other words, this activity is going to be about USING THE COMPUTER and CONTEMPORARY HISTORY. 

3) Get your Social Science book and notebook.

4) Get a computer or tablet.

5) You are going to create a PRESENTATION about the 20th Century in Spain. What is a presentation? It's a SUMMARY that includes outlines, sections, photographs or even videos.

6) How? You are going to use a DIGITAL TOOL. I'm going to give you a list of programs that can help you create presentations. The list is ordered from the easiest to the most difficult. Investigate a little bit and choose the one you want to use.

1. Word (offline, too easy)
2. Powerpoint (offline, adequate level)
3. Canva (online, needs register, pro)
4. Prezi (online, needs register, super pro)

7) What? You need to include the information on pages 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 (Social Science). You already have summaries in the notebook, so USE them!!!! Things to include:

1. Titles (use colours, different sizes... be original!)
2. Summaries (the ones from your notebook should be good enough!)
3. Pictures (you can take them from the Internet)
4. Optional: videos, timelines, outlines... anything extra is always welcome!!!

8) Send me your PRESENTATIONS. You have until Thursday at 23.59 pm. Go!

Comment only if you have a question.

CHAPTER 15: THE FORBIDDEN FOREST

ORAL SUMMARY

Attention! This activity is challenging. I need you to read all the instructions super slowly and follow the steps one by one, in the correct order. 

Have you ever written a summary? Yes! 

Do you remember the story I told you for Halloween? I hope so! 

Today, YOU are going to tell me the story. YOU are going to be the narrator. It's going to be an ORAL SUMMARY. Let's start...

1) Look at these 10 words. Make sure you understand all of them. If you don’t, look them up in a dictionary.

DETENTION – FORBIDDEN FOREST – BLOOD – PATH – MOONLIGHT – BRANCHES – CLOAK – CENTAUR – BOW – WOUND

2) Watch the video below. It has no volume on purpose.

3) Organize the 10 words in the order you want to include them in your oral summary, according to the video. 

4) Next to each word, write some ideas about the important things that happen in the video. You may need to watch the video 2 or 3 times. The more you write, the easier it will be.

5) This is what you need to do: ask your parents for a mobile phone. Play the video with no volume, and NARRATE what is happening in the scene. Record it as an audio file. 

6) There are some rules:

- You need to narrate the story in the past.

- You have to use all the words from the list.

- You should try to sound spooky.

- You must make sure that you produce your best pronunciation! Check the pronunciation of the key words here: PRONUNCIATION DICTIONARY

- You need to coordinate your voice with the images that are appearing in the video.

7) Extra tip: You might want to write down your summary before you record your voice, to make sure you are including all the words.

8) Still not sure? Weeeeeeeeell, I recorded myself as an example!!! (only a little bit, I don't want to give you all the solution...) 

Send me the AUDIO FILE before Sunday!

Comment if you have a question.

'EL GUERNICA' by PABLO PICASSO

You have drawn your interpretations of the Spanish Civil War based on all your new knowledge. I have selected these two paintings for a special reason: they have read my mind on the next activity!

Look at their paintings:

Well, there was an artist who also made a painting about the Civil War: Pablo Picasso. Have you heard of him? Probably!

He painted his famous “Guernica”, which you can see in the museum Reina Sofía. He represented the bombing of this city in the Basque Country. This is one of the most famous painting of Spain, and the world. People from all over the planet come to Madrid to see it.

Now, you are going to access this link. You will find an interactive painting of Guernica. You need to read ALL THE INFORMATION that appears.
