1. What’s Edmodo and how to use it?
Date: 16th September 2014.
Students sign in (register) to Edmodo platform and meet their peers and teachers from other country.
2. The prepositions song.
Date: 26th September (11.45 - 12.30) Friday
In this activity our students will remember some prepositions. In, on, under, behind, between...
Polish students know the song and they make some hand movements when they are singing the refrain. Spanish students will learn the song, but they don't know what movements to do while they are singing.
The day of the activity it will be a live session (hangout). Polish students will teach Spanish ones how to move their hands while singing the refrain.
With this task we want our students feel they are in the same class, doing things they usually do in their real classroom.
