ResponderEliminar*Unluckily I'm afraid I cannot open the links :-(
*Pls, check the meaning of ***must & mustn't***>>they're not opposites, apparently so it shows in this post. Do you want to express suggestion? Check modal verb needed. Try to work with FUNCTIONS, not only grammar items.
*really moving video, I'd rather say it's a bit too long. Are you planning to give ss come other extra task? to justify watching the whole video?
*Which reading STRATEGY/tasks do you expect your ss to use while reading the Wikipedia entry?
*I'm not sure whether photovisi accepts text.Are you planning to make just a collage? Then you could make your ss write something, explain the collage orally , do some kind of collage sharing , voting and justifying the use of these pics, etc.
* good pre-task!!!!
That's all. All the above are simple suggestions, there's no need to improve this task, I know that everybody is very busy!! But these items should be taken into account for future teaching seq.
GOOD JOB!
