INTRODUCTION
This activity is based on the
format of most of the quiz shows. It can be used to review contextualized
vocabulary about name of inventors and their inventions. It can be used from
year 4 to 6 of Primary Education.
LEARNING INTENTION
The students will become familiar with some of
the most important inventors and their inventions and we also want them to be
aware of the fact that most inventions make our lives easier.
METHODOLOGY
In developing a CLIL approach
the activity connects four dimensions (4 Cs): content, cognition, communication
and culture.
Specifically, this
communicative activity focuses on language interaction, using language to
learn, express ideas and it also enhances active learning, involves students in
doing things and thinking about the things they are doing.
INSTRUCTIONS
The teacher will play the role
of the quiz show host, and the students, will answer one after the other. As
the students answer the invention according to the name of the inventor, you
will say "correct" or "incorrect" accordingly.
This activity allows for all
sorts of variations as regards scoring, timing, frequency and items to be
evaluated.
The winner is the student with
the highest number of correct answers.
