Feedback Gemma Estrella

BLOG VOCABULARY:

In this activity we looked for the difficult words that make up a blog, its vocabulary. Thanks to it, I learned a lot of new words whose meaning I didn't know before.
We had to do a Quizlet. I didn't know this application either which helps you to do a glossary and enjoy it.

DEFINITION OF CULTURE:

We chose a definition of a girl who explains the word culture as something that defines human behaviour. We thought that definition was the best one for our way of thinking. This activity helped us to have more clear the meaning of culture.

"DANCING WITH THE DEVIL" VOCABULARY:

We had to do a MovieMaker explaining the horror story called "Dancing with  the Devil". Thanks to it, we have learned a new typical story from English countries. Moreover, we have practised with MovieMaker and it has permitted us to have a good command of it.

METAPHORS:

Based on some examples of metaphors, my partner and I made two metaphors with the word culture. We compared it with a pomegranate and an appartment. This activity was also good to try to put into words our thoughts.

CONNECTING CULTURES:

With this activity, we had to create a poster to make people aware of the importance of "connecting cultures". Our poster shows the face of a girl created with different photographies superimposed of faces of girls from others races with the message "We are all the same". We used the programm "Picktochart", a good tool to make posters and other visual presentations.

OUR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG:

During Christmas we chose a very famous Christmas song that we really liked, it is "Last Christmas" by Cascada. We thought that it was a symbol of this time of  the year as almost everyone recognizes it. We did a Wordle with the lyrics of the song, it is an original and visual form to remark important words.

THE 13 BRITISH COLONIES:

This project is about the 13 British colonies and we decided to make a video, a MovieMaker to explain and give more information about their history. We learned lots of new things that we were ignorant of before. I think that it's a good way to understand historical events and it is more enjoyable.


LORD OF THE RINGS:

It has been the last activity and the best one for me. We had to dub a scene of a movie or video from the English country that we had choosen previously, in our case, New Zealand. We dubbed a fragment of the film "Lord of the Rings" and it sounds very real! Gemma and me are very proud of the result.
