Warm-Up
- Begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity. Display the Slideshow presentation on the projector for students to see.
- Describe the activity to the students.
Today, we are going to chat about means of communication. We will chat about different situations and how we would react. We will also decide what the appropriate reaction to a situation would be.
Hoy vamos a charlar sobre los medios de comunicación. Vamos a hablar de diferentes situaciones y cómo reaccionamos. También vamos a comparar las diferentes maneras de reaccionar a las situaciones y cuales son más apropiadas que otras.
- In break out rooms (groups of two or three) answer these questions:
- ¿Cuál es tu emoji más usado? (What is your most used emoji?)
- Describe el emoji (Describe the emoji)
- ¿Cómo se llama el emoji? (What is the emoji called?)
- ¿Con qué frecuencia usas este emoji? (How frequently do you use this emoji?)
Main Activity
- Tell your students:
Voy a leer una oración y deben escoger el emoji que piensan que mejor describe la situación y decir por qué escogieron ese emoji. - Use this model for an example:
The lab assistant will pick a “Situation Card“ and read it to the students. After, students have to type on the chatbox the letter and the number for the corresponding emoji that they choose.
Example: Cuando comes tu comida preferida.
Ask students what emoji they chose. If many students chose the same one, but one student chose a different one ask them why they picked it.
Wrap-Up
Ask students the following questions to finish the lab:
- ¿Es posible que los emojis puedan representar cada emoción? (Is it possible for emojis to represent every emotion?)
- Si tuvieran que elegir sólo un emoji para el resto de sus vidas, ¿cuál elegirían? (If you had to select an emoji to use for the rest of your life, which one 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.
- Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future activities!
