1. The Story Jumper + Educaplay
This task has been created by using two different tools: Story Jumper and Educaplay.
Here, the students are going to read a story about the water cycle. In that story, we have included the different parts of this natural process. Sometimes, the students have some problems to understand this kind of content, and therefore we consider that to use a story is very useful.
Then, they are going to do an activity using Educaplay. This activity consists in completing a crossword of the Water Cycle vocabulary. We think that it is a useful way to learn, to uderstand and to remember the vocabulary related to the topic.
