Fourth Activity

In our last activity, we seperated one passage in four. we give our students to listen four different accent of English by using voki web 2.0 tool. Here is the passage for you to follow while you are listening if you have problem in understanding speakers. Enjoy it and creat your own voki characters :)

'' Galileo Galilee was born in 1564 into a Europe wracked
by cultural ferment and religious strife. The popes of the
Roman Catholic Church, powerful in their roles as both
religious and secular leaders, had proven vulnerable to
the worldly and decadent spirit of the age, and their
personal immorality brought the reputation of the papacy
to historic lows. In 1517, Martin Luther, a former monk,
attacked Catholicism for having become too worldly and
politically corrupt and for obscuring the fundamentals
of Christianity with pagan elements. His reforming zeal,
which appealed to a notion of an original, “purified”
Christianity, set in motion the Protestant Reformation
and split European Christianity in two.''

First Project

In our first project, we adress 10-aged-children, 4th grade students, whose level is A1. Our aim is to develop students visual reception(reading) ability. Our students will read and follow instructions. Students can ''understand very short, simple texts a single phrase at a time, picking up familiar names, words and basic phrases and rereading as required'' and ''get an idea of the content of simpler informational material and short descriptions, especially if there is visual support'' (CEF,PP 69-70).After watching video, we want our students to make one more question and answer it. Watch and Enjoy it. Thank you.
