Project Leaders are always highly impressed by the quality and variety of teacher-made resources encountered during the course of school visits. We are therefore delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to teachers to share their resources with their MLPSI colleagues.

The resources available on this page for downloading have been created by practising language teachers in MLPSI schools throughout Ireland. They are organised by language: Italian, Spanish German and  French. Please click on the language you want to go to resources for that section.

If you would like to add to these resources please contact the Project Leader assigned to your school.

 La casa de los Simpson   Lleva a Lisa

My ELP topic:: Where I live

Strand: Communicative competence

Strand unit: Spoken interaction

Teacher: Natalia Hernández

Colegio: St. Pius X, Terenure, Dublin

DESARROLLO DE LA ACTIVIDAD: Primero se presentan las diferentes habitaciones de la casa, favoreciendo la interacción y la memorización a través de la repetición. A continuación, se abre el archivo “Lleva a Lisa a ….”, que consiste en clicar la imagen de Lisa y llevarla a la habitación que se pide en el enunciado. De esta forma, comprobamos la adquisición del vocabulario de una forma interactiva. El último paso es la parte de la actividad ¿Dónde está Bart?, donde este personaje aparece en las diferentes habitaciones de la casa. Se pide que ellos respondan a dicha pregunta oralmente. De este modo, ellos identifican y emiten el vocabulario, de forma que se refuerza la adquisicion y generalización de este vocabulario.

Sugerencias: Para completar esta actividad podemos usar “mi mundo en palabras”, concretamente la seccion dedicada a la casa. www.cvc.cervantes.es/ensenanza/mimundo.
