Description
The class is about to start a new chapter concerning the Arts. The teacher asks the students to brainstorm on various forms of art and names of artists. They are discussed in the classroom and written on the whiteboard. They are asked to open their books and prepare the text about Picasso’s Guernica. The students work in groups of two, using the computer and online dictionaries in order to look up for unknown vocabulary. They also have to create a mini vocabulary appendix for the text . The teacher ends the task by asking what made the activity easy-difficult and if the use of the online dictionary helped them in their task.
