Quisiera
animaros a que ayudéis a vuestro/a hijo/a
a interiorizar los contenidos utilizando los recursos digitales de los
libros.
Asimismo, en esta unidad los/as alumnos/as
tendrán que investigar sobre un animal que ellos decidan y hacer una
presentación oral en inglés del mismo. Previamente a la presentación, los/as alumnos/as
habrán de completar una ficha que les sirva para organizar su presentación
oral. Pueden acompañar la presentación con apoyos visuales (fotografías del
animal, dibujos, un póster o un libro en el que aparezca…).
