Hi guys!!! 馃憢
Today we will start a new unit, are you ready?
So far, we
have known the different autonomous communities that make up our country,
Spain, as well as the most important rivers and mountain ranges, but... what
about our continent, Europe?
INTRODUCTION.1st session. Monday 21/02
Do you
remember the travel agency we set up in the previous unit?
Well...it has to act
again!
You have
some clients who want to visit a country in Europe (other than Spain), and they
have the option of visiting the two places in the pictures below.
You, as an
agency, have to research about these places, indicate advantages and
disadvantages of visiting each one and you should recommend 1 activity to do in
each of them.
Finally,
you will present your proposal to the rest of your classmates.
JULIAN'S ALPES (SLOVENIA)
TIME SQUARE (NEW YORK)
CUSTOMIZE OUR MAP OF EUROPE. 2nd session. Wednesday 23/02
Hello! Today
we are going to work with the map of Europe.
For the
first activity, you will click on the following link and you will find a map
chart of Europe, and there is a problem... it is empty!
1. Firstly your job is
to customize it: to color the different countries and borders and indicate the
name of each country. Then, once, you have customized it and the map is complete,
you are going to draw it in your notebook.
You sure
have drawn a beautiful map! 馃槣
2. Now,
looking at your map, answer the following question (you can find it on page 20
of the book).
Add 2 more questions and challenge your classmates!!!

WHAT IS A WATERSHED?. 3rd session. Friday 25/02
FORUM ACTIVITY!!!
I have a
new challenge for you guys: What is a WATERSHED?
You
should see the video below and try to make your own definition of it.
We are
going to start today's class by doing 4 groups which will be:
1. Atlantic watershed rivers
2. Artic watershed rivers
3. Mediterranean watershed rivers
4. Rivers of the Southeast
You will
have to research the 3 main rivers in that area, their source, and mouth and
you will have to add 1 characteristic of them.
When you
have them, draw them on your map of Europe.
1.
When all of you finish, each group will present their research to the rest of the class.
NOTICE: The
groups should draw the other groups’ rivers on their maps as well!
If we have time at the end of class, we will reinforce what we have learned so far with these two interactive games. You can practice at home
too!

MOUNTAINS OF EUROPE. 5th session. Wednesday 2/03
Today we
are going to work in groups of 2 or 3 people.
1. For the first activity, I am going
to give you a little box with cards which contain the names of the most
important mountains in Europe. Each group will take one of them:
ALPS CAUCASUS MOUTAINS
CARPATHIAN MOUNTAIN MOUNT ETNA
TEIDE MONT BLANC ELBRUS MATTERHNORN
1. 2. In groups, you have to go to page 24 of
the book and you will take note of the information about your mountain. Then
you will find out the geographical location of the mountain on the map of
Europe. When you finish it, you have to point it out on the maps we drew in the
previous session.
2 3. Finally, each group will have to go
to the board and explain the information they have found to their partners, who
will also take note so that all groups have the same information.
WHO IS WHO?. 6th session. Friday 4/03
Today we
are going to do a game and we will do it with the same groups as the previous
lesson.
We are
going to play the Who's Who
of the mountains of Europe, we saw in
the previous class to see if you remember them!
-In the
first half of the class, you will make a short description of each of the
mountains we saw. For example:
I am at the
highest peak in Europe: Elbrus.
I am a
mountain range in the center of Europe and the river Danube flows through me: the Carpathian
Mountains
-When you
all have it, we'll start the game: we will play 1 group VS 1 group. Every
hit will be a point!
GOOD LUCK! 馃憜
TIME TO EVALUATE.
7th session. Wednesday 9/03
Do we see what we have learned?
It's time to evaluate ourselves, do you remember how we did it in the last unit?
There is one condition... you have 3 chances and you can't get less than a 9! GOOD LUCK, YOU CAN!
TIME TO REVIEW.
Here is a mix of vocabulary from the two geography units, let's remember!
CONGRATULATIONS! WE HAVE FINISHED THIS UNIT!
Thanks to all of you, Mr. Potato has found again another part of his body.
In this case...
HIS LEGS! He really missed them!
