It seems very nice this activity you've proposed. It seems that we always used to make vocabulary activities or crafts related skills, body parts, parts of the house, around the school, numbers, colors ... But teach our students, art and history is also essential for culrural training.
ResponderEliminarSo I find it interesting that you promote this area in children, and the images are beautiful and the right exercise.
Congratulations David.
It's really interesting to use History in the blog. Students could work in pairs or small group to look for information in Internet. But I think it is a good idea provide students links to look for information (it is only a constructive suggestion).
ResponderEliminarAnyway it is a great blog. Congratulations David¡¡¡

Hello David! I put this comment because I believe this activity is different in termes of comprehension. Students have to notice the beautiful pictures and then they fill the gaps with the information provide. I agree with you that this exercise is for students the last level. It is a good idea to look for information on the Internet.
ResponderEliminarGood luck with your idea!

Hello David,
ResponderEliminarFilling gaps in a text I think is one of the activities that most children find it difficult because it much mind. So I find it very interesting because from childhood they have to learn to make decisions.
I really liked your blog.
A greeting.
