This week we have had our
local elections in the class of 4th of ESO. First, all my students wrote a composition with the title
"If I were president, I would..." Then, I corrected them; all of my students had very
good ideas to overcome the crisis we are in, a bit populist and inmature but
very well organised. We set a date for the election and they prepared themselves to give a speech and persuade the rest of their mates to
vote for them.

Many
rhetorical devices were used, such as repetition and parallelisms, just like in real political speeches!!! They enjoyed very much their mates oral expositions and I really liked this activity because it
fosters speaking in public and, as they were really into getting the votes, they became less anxious about their English and more aware of what
communication is all about.

All of them had great ideas and exposed them in a fantastic way, that is why I wanted to thank them, not only for this activity, but for the amazing course that we have had together. I hope next year we are together again. So
thank you:
Marina, Antonio, María José, Miguel, Ana, Anabel, Francisco Javier, Ángela, Alba, Beatriz, Montse, Javier and Manuel.If you want to see how I have treated the conditionals in the blog in other ways, check the following:

Hi Ana,
ResponderEliminarI wasn't so brave to leave them prepare any presentation. Thanks for your idea! The students had fun and of course, they voted for the candidate who offered more free time.
They really spoke about some interesting things. There are classes who admit more than others this kind of activities.
EliminarI wanted to tell you Fran, we are in a Facebook group called Education Bloggers, I thought maybe you would like to join us?? Regards ;)
