1º ESO -1 MET, A Year Full of Expectations

In 1º ESO-1 MET Oral Skills are most important. During the first weeks, they worked on Personal Information. After creating a family poster they presented their first project orally to the rest of the students. They also prepared some interviews to "celebrities", which were dramatised in class.
However, their first big project was "English Speaking Countries".
The English teacher and Sherry, the High School language assistant, introduced Britan and The U.S.A. After that, the students were given some information about the English Speaking Countries. They were divided into groups of four, surfed the net and with all that information collected they designed a poster about those countries. Finally, they presented their project to the class.

Soon after that, they read a book: The Borrowers. On this occasion they designed a flyer, which was presented orally too.
In the following PPT we can see pictures of these activities taken by the students themselves.

1º ESO MET Projects

Portfolio Presentations

At the end of the school year, our students of ESO-1 have prepared the project 'My Portfolio', in which they have shown what they have learnt since September.
They have written a document in Google docs and prepared a Power Point Presentation. Using the PPT, they have given an oral presentation about themselves.

The presentations have been really good. They have proved that they can talk about themselves and things in their normal lives quite fluently and they can also use the new technologies.

Reading Project ESO-1

To motivate Reading habits in our students, in the second term we worked in different ways.
First, some of our students were the public in the performance of Romeo & Juliet given by students in Bachillerato -1.

After that, they learnt a summary of Romeo & Juliet and recorded it on video.

We took all the students to the theatre in Bilbao to watch a play in English -"Be Cool" and we read the book "The Borrowers". They prepared beautiful mini-books with the reviews of this book and of another book they chose and liked.

Finally, at the end of term, in March, we recorded them giving an oral presentation about "The book I like"

1º ESO - English In The World

Part of the educative plan for our students here at Julio Caro Baroja is the Trilingual Project.  In this project our students have the opportunity to learn Spanish, Basque and English and also learn where and how they are part of the modern world.

The first step was taken by the teachers.  They explored different information through presentations, class discussions, and visual aids.  We even had the oportunity to have our Auxiliar de Inglés presenting his first hand knowlege about the United States to our students.

 Post POWERPOINT

From the examples presented by our staff we then had the students take notes and begin understading how to organize these presentations and how they are constructed.

SCAN NOTES SHEET FROM STUDENTS

Then in 1º ESO we started with investigations into the different places in the world where English is spoken.  Groups later had to present a poster and information about one country following the guidlines and examples given by the teachers and staff.
