Main Aims: Students will develop their listening and speaking skills by watching a video about Shorthand Language (Emoticons) and talking about the importance of computers in their lives as they listen to the questions in "voicethread". They will also produce short texts using Emoticons/Shorthand language and interact with other classmates by commenting on their writings.
Place: Mimio Room and at Home
Time: 2 classes (2 days)
Procedures:
First they will see the Voicethread slideshow (made by their teacher, Gabriela Anjos)about the role computers play in their lives and discuss in pairs each of the questions asked. As a Follow-up, they will , at home, record or write comments for some of the questions. On a second class, again in the Mimio Room, they'll listen/read the comments made by themselves and their classmates.
Next, they'll watch the You Tube video about Emoticons (A talk given by the American author, Rives) - a short story told with Shorthand Language. Still in class ,they'll write drafts of the text they will be asked to produce using Emoticons/Shorthand language (an answer to the following question - "Which would you take to a desert island , a computer or a human?Why?") . At home they will write their answers in the Comments space and will also interact with their classmates using the same language. On the second day they'll view all the comments in the Mimio Room.
