Muchos de los docentes en la actualidad se encuentran con el problema añadido de tener que dar las clases en otro idioma. A continuación se muestran algunas actividades que han resultado muy útiles en el aula:

KETCHUP BOY: Mommy I can’t get the ketchup to come out of the bottle. MOM: Let me try. You have to hit the side like this. PHONE RINGS. BOY: I’ll get it. MOM: Thank you darling. Tell them I’ll be right there. BOY: Hello….. Mommy, it’s the minister! …. My mommy can’t come to the phone right now. She’s hitting the bottle.                                                      http://www.theaterfunscripts.com/simpleskits.html -          How many characters act in this play? -          Are there any actions in this scene? How do you know it? -          How does the writer manage to get excited the reader? -          How do you know when an actions starts or finishes? 2.      Now, it´s your turn! Imagine that you´re a famous writer. Your partner and you have to write a script (10 minutes) about your hobbies, or a little meeting, or a phone call, etc. Follow the “ketchup” script to start. Remember include only two characters. 3.             When you complete the exercise 2, join three groups and get one bigger. Then, play your script. Every pair has to do this step! Be funny! 4.              Do you remember Water cycle? Write a script to explain it. Everybody have to participate in this task!. If you don´t finish at time, you must complete it at home working in groups.

SESSION 2: VOLUME OF VOICE AND VOCALIZATION WORK IN THE ESTABLISHED GROUP IN THE PREVIOUS SESSION 1.      Take a ball for each group and throw your classmate it. In each pass, you have to say a word (of water cycle vocabulary).  Listen teacher´s instructions and do them. For example: Pass it whispering. 2.      Now, take your own scripts. Each one takes a pen and put it into their mouths (like the picture show). Try to read it with a perfect pronunciation (vocalization). Read it, at least, 2 times. 3.      Do one circle. One volunteer is blindfolded.  The volunteer will have to be dropped into the arms of his companions to grab him gently. BE CAREFUL!!! 4.      Take a blanket piece of paper. Write, at least, two virtues for each classmate. When everybody finish, put in common. AND BE FUNNY!!!!!!!
