Tecnoaulas

Considerando o fato de que o aquecimento global é um problema urgente e de todos ,durante um dos bimestres esse foi o tema das aulas de língua Inglesa.Iniciamos com o texto retirado do site do greenpeace depois de termos lido alguns textos assistimos o filme "Uma verdade inconveniente" e finalmente pedi aos alunos que em grupo elaborassem videos que tratassem do assunto estudado.Alguns grupos fizeram videos que explicavam a questão e um dos grupos fez um vídeo entrevistando a população.Os vídeos ficaram ótimos.

Stop climate change

Greenpeace is asking you to take part in an energy revolution. To go from a world powered by nuclear and fossil fuels to one running on renewable energy. Human caused climate change is a reality. Fortunately, there are proven energy solutions we can put to use today to provide sustainable development and energy for all. Will this energy transformation occur rapidly enough to avert the worst effects of a warming world? You will help decide the answer to that question.
If you still need convincing to join the energy revolution, check out what climate change will mean for you:

Take part in the energy revolution by:
Choosing to take action
Studying the solutions
Learning about the science of climate change

A little help
asking –convidando fuels-combustíveis renewable-renováveis worst-piores take-tome fortunately-felizmente change-mudança occur-ocorrer avert-reverter warming-aquecimento mean-significa join-participar check out-veja

Reading:
1- O texto foi retirado do site do Greenpeace a que esse grupo se dedica?
2-Que tipo de texto é esse?
3-O que sugerem os títulos do texto?
4-Que convite esta sendo feito na primeira linha?
5-Que pergunta esta sendo feita na sexta linha?
6-De acordo com o texto.
a-O que sinaliza o termômetro?
b-Como podemos participar?

Grammar
Em que forma os títulos estão escritos (afirmativa/interrogativa/imperativa) explique:
A palavra WILL aparece duas vezes no texto.O que ela expressa?
Will Future - Simple Future
O tempo do futuro na língua inglesa tem duas formas: o futuro com o verbo auxiliar WILL e com a expressão "to be goingo to".
Este tempo verbal será formado pela colocação do verbo auxiliar WILL em frente ao verbo principal em sua forma natural.
Ex.: It will be good to see my friends after all these years.
I will dream of you tonight.
A forma interrogativa será feita com a colocação do verbo auxiliar antes do sujeito, a exemplo da maioria dos verbos auxiliares em outros tempos verbais.
Ex.: Will it be good to see your friends?
Will you dream of her tonight?
A forma negativa também seguirá o modelo dos demais tempos verbais.
Ex.: I think I will not travel on my vocation this year.
Forma Contraida
O WILL também possui uma forma abreviada, que é muito usada na forma oral. As contrações são feitas apenas após pronomes pessoais na forma afirmativa, e com o not (won't) na forma negativa.
Ex.: He thinks he'll win money at the casino, but I know that he won't.

Solutions

Solutions to global warming - renewable energy, energy efficiency and new environmentally sound technologies - already exist.
The latest report from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms that hundreds of technologies are now available, at very low cost, to reduce climate damaging emissions, and that government policies need to remove the barriers to these technologies.
Implementing these solutions will enable people to usher in a new era of energy, one that will bring economic growth, new jobs, technological innovation and, most importantly environmental protection.
However, for green solutions to global warming to find a foothold in the market, governments and corporations need to shift away from polluting technology. In most industrial countries, conventional electricity is heavily subsidised, and the negative environmental impacts of its production are not reflected in the cost to end-users.
The time has come for us end our addiction to fossil fuels and other climate damaging technologies. Here you can discover how clean renewable energies, like wind, solar, bioenergy, hydroelectric and other sources can combine to create a clean energy revolution. Discover also the misleading myths about these solutions pushed by vested interests aiming to stop the clean energy revolution.

Pen Pal

Uma das atividades sugeridas era a de que os alunos fizessem o cadastro no site Pen Pal .Lamentavelmente estou sem internet na escola mas gostei da idéia e fui sozinha ao site de onde tirei atividades para um bimestre.

Primeiro entrei no site e copiei um bate papo entre alguns participantes coloquei um titulo e pedi que os alunos respondessem a essas perguntas básicas sobre os participantes.Ficou assim:

Talk about this people: who are they? Where are they from? How old are they?

-Nessa aula os alunos fizeram pequenas fichas com as informações possíveis sobre cada personagem.Os alunos acharam interessante falar sobre pessoas reais e saber que eles haviam sido sequetrados de um chat.Expliquei a eles algumas características do gênero.Revisamos os Wh questions;to have;países;idiomas.Também não seria eu, se eu não tivesse chamado a atenção deles para o fato que aquelas pessoas valorizavam muito o aprendizado de novos idiomas.Foi ótimo os alunos perceberem que eram capazes de ler textos reais.
-Na aula seguinte fizemos algumas atividades utilizando o vocabulário e os verbos emergentes do texto .Ex.Pedi que eles escrevessem em inglês as frases:
Tenho que ir/Tenho coisas para fazer/Tenha um bom fim de semana
Meu objetivo era leitura mas aproveitei para ver alguns tópicos gramaticais
-Em uma aula seguinte pedi para que os alunos fizessem a lista de todas as formas de cumprimentos emergentes do texto.Foi muito bom rever algumas formas e conhecer outras.

Na aula seguinte levei os perfis que os participantes do chat publicaram no site.A partir deste novo texto pedi que os alunos completassem as informações que eles ja haviam coletado sobre cada participante.

Hello, I'm Daniela from Berlin and 27yrs old yet. I live with my boyfriend together. I'm looking for pen pals from all over the world, whereby the age group is all the same and I like snail mail, but email is ok, too.

I hear gladly country music, oldies, swing dance, Drum&Bass and Jazz especially Smooth Jazz, Katie Melua, The Carpenters, Jane Siberry...etc.

Sometimes I write poems or play computer games and I'd like to read murder mysterys, novels and fantasy and I play in the theater club.
Ok that to me and hope I hear from you soon!

Eu modéstia a parte adorei as atividades.Achei que elas promoveram um bom contato com a língua via diferentes gêneros.Claro que se tivessemos usado os computadores teria sido uma super atividade e com muito mais possíbilidades mas a informática em nossas escolas é uma piada.Mesmo assim valeu.
