MAD ABOUT MOBILES!!!

Hi everyone!

I know you will like this new unit whose topic is MOBILES. In our current society, life does not exist without mobiles, at least in your lives, dear teens, although I know, this also happens in adults lives. As any tool, if you use it properly, it is great but if not it can hurt you in many senses...Anyway, we will take advantage of this topic to deal with specific language and signs when using our mobiles.

Let´s start with two new activities in order to break the ice with this unit.

1. Make a comment on the blog sharing with your classmates how important mobiles are in your life, how you use them and if you consider your way of using them is the appropiate one.

2. Create a comic about real and funny situations with mobiles. To create this comic you will click in the following link:

 www.bitstripsforschools.com

In that web page I have created our bilingual class to design comics about different topics and you directly should go on your left to the student login where you should introduce our password that is: ACTIVE25

When you are in, you should click in the whole class exactly in the student with your name, that way you will be in your own account introducing your own password where you will see a simple comic made by myself and below another one empty. Then, it is your turn to draw with several tools your comic. Pay attention to the vocabulary used, spelling of words and be as much creative and original as you can.

If you have doubts, don´t worry a brief introduction will be done in class on Monday.

Good luck and do your best!!!

Take care and see you tomorrow guys!!!
