 And we turned 10!!!

... Celebrating our first decade.

Our blog has just turned 10 years old.

What began as part of a PELE project has become a staple element of our daily life at school and a reliable source for both teachers and students.

It helps us with many tasks, offering material and examples for our learners to follow.

It is also a useful tool with tons of links to webs containing hundreds of listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary and culture activities as well as many other relevant topics.

Join us in the celebration!!!

3 THINGS & AN ISLAND

What would you take with you to a desert island?

Imagine you could ONLY take 3 things.

You would probably pick 3 objects with a very especial meaning for you.

That is exactly what Edenia and Julia decided to do when they were caught in a traaffic jam. They got a bit "philosophical", truly thoughtful.

But, what did they choose and why?

They explain everything in this video.

THREE OBJECTS

Even a sleepover can be a good opportunity to talk about this.

Abril, Noelia and Tess decided on very different objects. Watch them and imagine the ones you would choose.

THE SLEEPOVER

A HORROR STORY

A forest...

Darkness...

Cold...

Rain...

Strange sounds...

An abandoned old mansion...

What started as a lovely walk in the woods, turned out to be their worst nightmare.

Edgar and Adrià wanted to spend a relaxing day in the contryside.

However, things did not happen exactly as they had expected.

Watch and feel the fear...

A NORMAL DAY?

THE BEST PLAN

Surely it is hard to beat.

Joel and Adrià's weekend came full of surprises...

Do you want to learn more?

Then, watch this:

MY FAMILY AND MY HOUSE

Some of our 1st Year students would like you to meet their families and the place where they live.


In these videos they introduce their parents and siblings and they walk us around their houses, real or imaginary.


Let's meet Elsa.

Finally Abril tells us her story.

ABRIL'S HOUSE

NO-TEEN!!!

Three years ago we embarked on a new adventure...

Our first students' magazine in English at INSNO.

We called it "NO-TEEN!!!"

NO for our school's name - Narcís Oller

TEEN because all our reporters and contributors are teenagers, and...

NO-TEEN!!! because it sounds a bit like naughty.

And, yes, we all love being a little naughty.

So far we have published six issues. Not even the lockdown could stop us.

At present we are working on the 7th publication, which we hope will be out some time around May.

Students of our 2nd and 3rd years ESO and 1st year Batxillerat are creating the contents.

If you want to learn more about the past issues, you will find the link below this picture.

NO-TEEN issues

We hope you enjoy them!!

FL WORKSHOP AT INSNO

Let us introduce to you a new experience we have just started. 

A workshop devoted to the creation of useful resources for the foreign language class, in English, French and German. 

Some of the teachers in our department plus teachers at other schools have been working together since October'18.

This is a joint effort by this group of teachers aimed at creating, improving, up-dating and sharing tasks to promote communication at all levels in and out the language class taking advantage of the possibilities ICT offers us all.

As you can imagine this is an activity in progress as we plan to keep on working for some years on it.

The project involves the use of many different new tools and an active role of our students.

You can follow the development of the tasks, their assessment and the final products and results of the experience at:

FLD's WORKSHOP

We plan to create activities to promote the reading and listening comprehensions and the oral and written productions in connection to the readers we are working on at each level, the oral tasks we regularly produce during the school year and many other little projects connected to cultural issues, our school magazine in English and celebrations and festivities.

This first year of the experience we are producing materials for 1st, 2nd and 3rd years ESO. We intend to cover the 6 years of ESO and Batxillerat in future editions of the workshop.

It will also involve so many different topics that many of the tasks include CLIL contents.

  GREATEST XMAS ADS ON UK TV  

A TOP TEN

Furthermore... 

To make this competition more exciting, there is a set of questions on each video for the groups to answer. 

So, choose a spokesperson and listen carefully to those questions. 

In turns each group will answer ONE question at a time, BUT if they do not know the answer, the other groups have the opportunity to do so. 

The fastest spokesperson gets the opportunity.

Each correct answer gives the group ONE GOLDEN COIN.

Each "rebound" answer gets them ONE SILVER COIN.

And, of course, each team will get a little SWEET token of recognition for your participation.

VIDEOS TO WATCH:

The Boy and the Piano and More... 

Your Song 

Sweet Child o'Mine 

From Me to You 

Shadow 

The Supporting Act 

Say Hello to Rang-Tan

And the winner is...

 

VOCABULARY TASK:

LOWER LEVELS

Try to elicit ADJECTIVES to describe the RELATIONSHIPS among characters in the stories, elements in the images, personality and emotions, physical description, etc.

Part of these questions may be the the questions for the group competition.

HIGHER LEVELS

Ask students to explain what could have happened BEFORE the story shown in the ad, AFTERWARDS or even DURING the short videos.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Story Telling

Some of our 2nd YEAR ESO students love creating their own short stories and role plays.
We have selected a few, both original and adaptations.



A job interview.

Mariona thinks that she has found the perfect job for her. But Tiomana's requirements are truly difficult to meet.
Don't worry, nobody was injured while filming this video.

 

 

Mariona's dreamed job 

 Shopping stress

Laura loves going shopping but sometimes she has to be very careful as Mar seems eager to make her pay more than she has to.

  

Don't overcharge me!

 The Mall

Teenagers love clothes and some spend a lot of time and money getting theirs.
Sentosa and Ariadna have different tastes as far as fashion is concerned but both are very very stylish ladies.
 

There's no accounting for taste

Traditional Tale.

Are there any small children in the family?

Do you have problems when bedtime approaches?

Maybe Mar and Alex can help you with that.
