Genially: My pets

Hi everyone!

This is an example of the activity I could carry out with my First or Second Graders by using Genially as an oral presentation tool. In my opinion, this could be very complex to work with children at this ages, but I think it could be a good option to involve the families by the use of interactive groups.

I will divide the task into the following stages:

1. Stablish the groups and choose the pets they are going to present.
2. Select and organize the information they want to include in their presentation.
3. Work on the speeches by writing what they want to say.
4. First assessment to correct the possible mistakes they have made.
5. Prepare the presentation in Genially with the help of families.
6. Present their work in front of their classmates.

The class will be organized in groups of three and they will have to decide which part will be presented by every member. Nevertheless, they all will have to know the whole presentation. The timing on each stage will depend on how decisive children are in developing every activity. This first time, I will decide on the components of every group so that they are as heterogeneous as possible, but in the future they will be able to decide it themselves.

During the presentations, the other groups will be given an assessment chart in which they will take notes about different aspects related to the use of vocabulary, the accuracy, the pronounciation... This will be a good option to get them involved in the whole process and avoid boredom.
