Since the return from winter holidays, we have been working on the
Simple Present Tense as the main grammar theme for this stage in 3rd
Form. Furthermore, we have finished with Unit 5 “My Busy Family” from Backpack
Gold 2. In this unit, the students have had as main objectives the
identification of occupations and professions, places people work, and the
activities they do. Following these topics the pupils have done different
tasks, such as speaking about jobs, describing them, doing written work, and
playing games. Moreover, they have worked on art projects, including posters of
people’s jobs and finger puppets that characterize occupations. As we can see
on the photos below, the students have played different roles showing their
puppets to the class and interacting with their classmates. This application gives
them the opportunity to practise speaking, have fun, and enjoy learning English!!!
