• Date:
• Each member role for the lesson:

STEP 2: Let's introduce everybody your special place or your favourite place to live. We are going to do it using a new web tool: Blabberize . When you finish to create it you have to be sure where the URL, link, HTML or EMBED code is to place it in your final post.

STEP 3: Create the storyboard, identify and describe the characters.
Look at the presentation to create your storyboard.

Try to identify all the characters in the story, and in your group divide it who is going to be each one. 

TIP: Let's check grammar from CB page 147, 148, 149 & 150 and vocabulary from CB page 134 and 135.

STEP 4: A part of the final product will be a video recorded using a "croma", let's have a look to understand what we are trying to do. 

For that purpose we are going to use the web tool: Touchcast. You need to prepare the script before recording the video. If you remember the aim of this task was to act and play a story. 

Do you remember what the tense to talk about what happened is?  

Along the script you have to use at least 10 sentences using past simple. 

TIPS: Use the grammar at CB page 146-149.

Also you will find useful time expression like: Yesterday, last night, last month, last week, ...ago, the day before yesterday, ...

STEP 5: Let's record the video using Touchcast but in our MinIpads. In the following tutorial you will know how to deal with it. Please read it very carefully before start.
