Warm-Up
- Begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity. Display the Google Slideshow presentation on the projector for students to see.
Hoy vamos a charlar sobre los medios de comunicación. Vamos a hablar de diferentes situaciones y como reaccionaríamos. También vamos a comparar las diferentes maneras de reaccionar a las situaciones y cuales son más apropiadas que otras. - In group answer the following questions:
- ¿Cuál es tu emoji más usado? (What is your most used emoji?)
- ¿Hay un emoji que todavía no existe pero te gustaría que existiera? (Is there an emoji that doesn’t exist but you would like for it to exist?)
- ¿Cuál es tu emoji favorito? (What is your favorite emoji?)
- ¿Qué emoji jamás usarías? ( What emoji would you never use?)
Main Activity
- Pass out Emoji Bingo Cards to students and read the situation card. Students will match an emoji to the given situation.
Voy a leer una oración y deben escoger el emoji que piensan que mejor describe la situación. Después voy a decir que emoji es el ‘correcto’ para la situación pero si tienes otro, pueden defender su razonamiento para quedarse con ese emoji y cuadro. - After the students have selected their emojis, ask them to give justification for their choices. Those who get it correct or have one that makes sense will mark the emoji off on their bingo card.
Yo voy a ser el juez y voy a juzgar si el emoji que escogieron es apropiado. O preguntar ¿por qué eligieron este emoji? Las personas que eligieron un emoji apropiado pueden marcar ese emoji en la carta de bingo. - Whoever gets bingo first wins. Have students clear their boards and start again (4 corners, blackout, etc.)
¡La persona que saque bingo primero gana! Ahora borran sus tablas y volveremos al comienzo.
Wrap-Up
Ask students the following questions to finish the activity:
1. ¿Es posible que los emojis puedan representar cada emoción? (Is it possible for emojis to represent every emotion?)
2. Si tuvieran que elegir sólo un emoji para el resto de sus vidas, ¿cuál elegirían? (If you had to choose one emoji to use for the rest of your life, which would you choose?)
End of Activity
- Read Can-Do statements once more and have students evaluate their confidence.
(Use thumbs up/thumbs down or download our student cards) - Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation.
