CONVERSATION (oral coproduction)
Remember the oral production task that I told you to
do last week. In pairs, you should record a conversation, choosing your topic
among one of these: Click here to download the oral coproduction cards
June 2019
You must hold a conversation for 4 minutes-4:30
minutes. Set your alarm for 4 minutes and don't keep talking for much longer. There are 10 topics, so each one should be used only once. Specify
your names and topics on your Padlet post. You can record an audio or video, up
to you. Do it preferably in MP3 or MP4 to avoid problems reading the format of
the file. When you finish, you will upload it or share the link (if you have it
on Google drive or dropbox) in our padlet board.
Deadline: May 28th, 12 noon.
LISTENING:
Answer key to the TED talk activity "5 dangerous things you should
let your kids do".
1.
Gever warns parents that if they send
their kids to Tinkering School, they’ll come back bruised,
scraped and bloody.
2.
The speaker said that as the
boundaries of what we determine as the safety zone
grow ever smaller, we cut off our children from valuable opportunities to learn
how to interact with the world around them.
3.
Learning the control of one of the
most elemental forces in nature is a pivotal moment
in any child’s personal history.
4.
The three working elements for a good
controlled fire that he mentions are intake, combustion
and exhaust.
5.
Grever said that a penknife is at the
same time a spatula, a pry bar, a screwdriver
and a blade and that’s why it’s a powerful and
empowering tool.
6.
Our brains are wired for throwing
things. If you don’t exercise, they atrophy.
7.
Even if they don’t know what the
parts of an appliance are, puzzling out what
they might be for is a good practice for the kids.
8. Driving
a car with your child happens about the same time as they get latched onto things like dinosaurs. A car is a similar
object. They can get in a car and drive it.
