Celebration Phase - 5th Grade - 3rd Period

This period we decided to continue working on the micro-project "interview" because our final goal is, as reporters from "El Telescopio" magazine, to have the ability to conduct interviews in English; and we have acomplished a lot!
This is how our process has been so far:
During the first period we learned the basic personal information, we conducted interviews among each other, we interviewed our parents, even famous people (using our imagination and researching) and we used puppets interviewing each other and it was fun :) We also learned vocabulary like school supplies. We worked mostly the communicating ability during this time.
During the second period we worked a little bit more on grammar so we learned how to conjugate the verb "to be" in present simple and we learned how to use some adjectives in order to add a better strucutre and a better understading to our interviews. We began learning the body parts.

During the third period we added more questions in simple present to our interview micro-project. We also learned the structure of the simple present tense to be able to create our own questions. We involved our parents by interviewing them and we also learned how to pass the interview in the 3rd singular person but this part we must work on it more deeply next period. We also learned more body parts and played some fun games practicing them.

Here we have some videos showing the interviews the students conducted among each other. They may have some mistakes but we can see how well we are progressing. Please watch them, enjoy them and don't forget to comment :)
