Resumen evaluaciones internacionales

Espero que os sirva de ayuda.


Evaluaciones educativas

¡Hola!

No os sorprendáis si, de repente, en medio de el blog de clase, aparecen entradas sobre evaluaciones educativas externas internacionales. Estoy haciendo un curso para familiarizarme con ellas y nos piden que utilicemos un blog para estar en contacto. Como mi conocimiento previo es muy bajo, la información, en un principio, será de un nivel muy básico.

Fin de la primera entrada dedicada a las evaluaciones.

Hero

Have you watched a film called 'Hero'? If you haven't, you can watch the trailer now.


   


 What kind of film is it? Can you name the main characters and write a sentence to describe their role and actions?

 Now we are going to work in two separate groups. You must choose five important scenes to summarise the film. Think about: situation, location, time, characters and how they feel at that time.

On this stage, you must play the five mute scenes as if they were five photos. You cannot move. I will clap to change form one fixed picture to the next.
