Wordle

I've just downloaded Java on my computer to use the tool Wordle I learnt in class. I really enjoyed making my Wordle, I think it's a very good tool that could perfectly be used in class. Last week, we started talking about stories, that's why I've done my Worlde about tales...

 

And you, what does the world "tale" make you think about? Please comment!

Fruit party !

- Hello ! Who are you?
- Hello, I'm Mister Lemon, I look like to Miss Mandarin but we are not the same color. And you, who are you?
- I'm Miss Watermelon, I'm very fresh!
- Nice to meet you. Do you know this girl on the dancefloor?
- Yes, it's Miss Banana, monkeys love her! And this brown one?
- It's Mister Coconut, he comes from an island.
- Oh, yes, as Miss Grape, doesn't she?
- No, she lives in France or in Italy. And who's this one, she seems being alone...
- Oh, it's Miss Apple, she's very strange.
- Yes, I see, she empoisonned Snowhite! And who's this one dancing as a pumpkin?
- It's Mister Pear, he's very nice but a quite stupid...

This is a little story Aurore and I did in class, I wanted to share it ;-)

Facebook as a tool to teach English

The question of using Facebook to teach English as a foreign language was asked in class, I'd like to share my ponit of view about that.

In the one hand, Facebook has many tools : we can share photos, videos, write articles, play games, chat, make groups... It could be a very interesting tool to be used to learn English. It could be a really good way to learn English having fun : students could share photos that the others would watch and comment... But the teacher too!

In the other hand, I think Facebook is not really private, we have many photos we don't want our teachers to watch. We choose our friends on Facebook, so we can put on whatever we want, knowing that our friends are the only who can see or comment it, these photos are personal. That's why I think Facebook is not a very good way to teach English, it belongs to our private life. Therefore, I don't think every children have Facebook today, I have some friends who haven't got it, and even the Internet!
