Unjumbling and connecting sentences.

Unjumbling and connecting sentences

by Silvina P. Hillar

I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in whichthey can learn.- Albert Einstein

Aim: Paragraph coherence.

There happen to be plenty resources called websites of famous writers which are appealing to our students. They can interactively read them. Thus, it would be an interesting idea to make a link to said websites and afterwards, create the activity.

Said websites are the following:

http://www.roalddahl.com/

http://www.jkrowling.com/en

http://www.biography.com/people/lewis-carroll-9239598

We can choose any of the previously mentioned websites, so that we can read the biography

of Lewis Carroll, for instance. Later, we have to jumble his biography. We are going to link to a webpage so that students can have hints, though they can do it in a software which can give them hints.

First, you are to go through the Lewis Carroll biography yourself and rewrite and mix it so that

you can create the exercise. This time you are going to use a mixer creator. You are going to complete the main text in the correct order, and later you are going to

alternate the sentences, as shown in the following screenshot:

1. We have just created the activity. However, as a contrast to the activity created

in previous posts, we can add a link to a website through the activity. So let's do it!

2. Type the words Lewis Carroll's biography, as we are linking to the website of his biography. Choose Insert | Link | Link to Web URL. The following screenshot appears:

3.  The Link text block will be completed automatically because those words were

chosen to link to the website. What you have to complete is the URL/Path connecting

to the website.

4. You may choose whether to Open this link in a new window or not. I always do this

so as to preserve the activity in another window. You may need to ask your school policy about this.

5.  Click on OK.

6.  In the Title box, some words that you did not type will appear. This is the link to

the website.

7. Save the file. Click on File, select Save as, complete the filename block, and then

click on Save.

The activity is ready to work with!!
Another idea is to replace the written bio by a documentary video link or embeeding as this one!
