Marco Polo´s display

 The 4th level students create a display about Marco Polo.

 They write sentences about his life and facts. Then, they create a beautiful Chinese dragon to explain the importance of China for the explorer. 

Cooperative reading

 After watching the video of Marco Polo, students read a text about this famous explorer and using markers they underline the most important information. 

Then, they  complete the biography facts without looking at the text information. In groups, they discuss what  they should write in each box. This activity is a good way to do a cooperative reading where all the members of the group can remember different information and give ideas to the group.

I can´t imagine my life without?

Sometimes, our lives can change just in a second. We live wonderful lives. We have everything we need. But what happens if everything changes?

This is the story of Cast away where Tom Hanks pretends to be a man who has to survive in a desert island after a plane accident.

After watching this short video, we discuss in class about it:

1.  - What happened in the story?
2. Was he a rich man?
3. How could he survive?
4. What was the most important thing for him?

Then students complete this worksheet about "I can´t imagine my life without..." where they write the people, objects, actions, hobbies... that are really important for them.
