FRUIT


The English teacher has to take into account that the learners have to develop different skills required for language learning. We are talking about the reading, listening, writing, speaking and use of English skills.

We want to share with you some activities that will allow the students to use all the skills mentioned for the purpose of enriching and personalizing their learning process.

These activities are focused in the subject of "Fruit" but you could take the idea and adapt it to the subject that is being given in your class.

We hope that you find them interesting and useful.

At first we will present to our students the subject in an attractive way. It is important to mention the specific vocabulary that we want to treat. For this purpose, we have made a PowePoint presentation in which the vocabulary is given through two different ways: oral and reading. We have uploaded this content to Slideshare, a web platform that allow us to share it with all interested in. 


Fruits from Cristina Roldán Miguélez

Now, that our students have known the subject we are going to work with, we can begin with the activities to learn and reinforce this content. 
We have done an activity with HotPotatoes that requires to the students the ability of matching images with their names. In this case, there is no reading, but the information is given through a visual and oral way. 
We have uploaded this content to the HotPotatoes web using a demo user to have the opportunity of sharing it.

The next activity is to reinforce the vocabulary at the same time that the learners will work with the writing and use of English skills. 
It is a Word with two different activities. The first one is about the spelling of different words while the second one is about the order of different letters to make sense of the word. 
We have uploaded this content to Scribd for sharing it whith those who are interested in.
  
Last, but not least, we have prepared a Voki in which you could hear someone talking about the fruit that he likes most and why. We encourage the learners to try to do the same but giving their opinions. As a result, this activity develops the speaking skills of the students. 
If you want, you can make your own Voki just going to the web http://www.voki.com/ and using the free options without any register.
 

That is all folks!
Thanks for following this blog and see you soon.

  1. Hi Crisu!
    Congratulations for your blog. The contents are appropriate for children in preschool. Apart from that, teachers can find the instructions clearly detailed about each activity. It’s a good idea explain contents globally, I mean, working on each exercise more than one subject together, for example, fruits and colors.

  2. Thanks for your feedback, Leire. I completely agree with you because if we try to do it in a global way the learning will be more significant.

  3. Hello Crisu, It is a great blog! I have selected this activity, but all of them are fantastic! I believe that it is a post really interesting and perfect to learn about fruits, but on the other hand, if it is a blog for children, I think that it is difficult to understand because it has got too many words.

  4. Thanks for your comment Marta.
    I understand what you are saying but I have made this blog for teachers. That is why I do this explanations of each activity... The resources are suitable to the preschool students but all of them are shared with the teachers.
    See you!
