LEARNING NEW, MEANINGFUL VOCABULARY THROUGH KAHOOT!

Technological innovations have created various learning models and tools that can increase the effectiveness of the language learning. Students now have various technological software to optimize their engagement in their learning. Research has shown that game software has the ability to influence and enhance language learning outcomes while implementing a positive learning environment. Kahoot! is a&nbsp;platform whose principle is creating quizzes for students to enjoy learning in a fun, interactive and competitive manner.

CREATING A WRITING PORTFOLIO TO ENHANCE WRITING SKILLS

A&nbsp;writing portfolio is a collection of a student’s writing for evaluation which makes it different from the traditional writing folder that contains all of a student’s work. A portfolio is made up of only a student’s best efforts and their pieces serve as a model for future drafts. Having students compile portfolios makes the whole process of writing more meaningful to them. They are accountable for producing a certain number of finished pieces as they approach writing as an involved process of drafting, sharing, and rewriting, and hence becoming aware that this will lead to more effective writing skills.&nbsp;

Both Scuola Media and High school students keep a writing portfolio at the back of their class notebooks or within a separate binder where they update their written production on a regular basis.

Think of a word for each category making sure you choose a word that begins with the letter 'B'

"The theater is an emotional venue and it is a wonderful place to learn English. You want to understand what the actors are saying because you empathize with them, you get to know them as people. This encourages you to expand your English vocabulary."&nbsp; Patricia Guzmán

'"Mama" (2013) is a horror film directed and co-written by Andy Muscietti, an Argentinian director who made it based on his 2000 short film "Mamá". "Mama" was produced J. Miles with Guillermo del Toro as its executive producer. The plot itself is not bad. It is about a woman who died and is now haunting a house. Even though it may sound as a cliché, in my opinion it was very well performed. I believe that the thing that somehow affected the movie, however, was the poor CGI which made the scenes where Mama look less scary, turning them into suspense segments, but far from being terrifying. Leaving aside the fact that the CGI was bad, I really have to applaud the people in charge of the setting. The music was as powerful as needed. That is something not very common among horror movies because producers tend to use ultra heavy beats to freak you out. In conclusion, the film has great ambient interactions, but the CGI cannot make this one into a scary flix. However, if you're searching for a film that makes you rush your adrenalin, this is a great option.' - Mateo Easton.

One of the best parts of kindergarten through lower school is the time that both teachers and high school students read aloud stories to lower school kids. It’s a moment when they get to use their imagination and creativity while dreaming about the story that’s unfolding before them. The wonderment and excitement this activity creates is one of the reasons why young children develop a love for reading and this is what we particularly foster at Scuola Italiana during the book day celebrations.

An example of the use of the Kahoot! application in class are the vocabulary lessons in both ECCE First certificate and ECPE Proficiency groups. Questions are usually projected on a smartboard and students answer them&nbsp;via technological devices&nbsp;such as a tablet, smartphone or a laptop computer. Then every new word is analyzed and discussed with the whole group. Vocabulary mocks are eventually taken once this game has been played.

How can I achieve a goal?

Form 5 A and B worked hard on steps they should take towards their goals. They surely achieved this one!

Form 3A students created their own! You can find Ice Skating zones where you´ll need ice skates and kneepads for safety reasons. You can also go pony riding or karting if you have a helmet. The climbing and sailing zones are quite challenging; don´t forget to bring your rope and harness, or a life jacket if you want to learn how to sail!

How would you rate this flick? Movie reviews made by BT1 students

Writing a movie review is a common assignment that students have to do in high school. Even though it may seem simple, movie reviews require time and proper organization and they should sound as objective as possible. The following reviews were made by two BT1 students this month.&nbsp;

'When we go back to year 2013, we could remember some horror movies that filled seats; for example, "World War II", "The Conjuring", and "Warm Babies". But when we talk about "Mama", this stays out of this group of impressive movies. Produced by Guillermo del Toro, this movie doesn't stop out from the basics. It's a kind of common story with ordinary FX effects, and very badly acted screams and jumpscares. The plot is not very well-known, and because of that, you can see a lack of experience in the big screen. Also, things are not well explained and are out of the logical thoughts. What happened to the people that "Mama" bit? Why didn't anyone mention the allegation of domestic abuse from Anabelle? How did the girls survive in the abandoned house? The only positive aspect is the ending. It stands out from the regular movies and has a very effective twist. That was something I certainly didn't expect. In general, we could say that this movie is very basic. You could get entertained, but don't expect something terrifying. Hence, I don't recommend it and I hope its second version will be better than this one.' - Lucas Charlo.
