Today our E26 / Year 9 Spanish students grappled with a summative assessment of our current topic on health, with its guiding question: “A diario una manzana es cosa sana?” (“does an apple a day keep the doctor away?”). They are encouraged to consider “where have we seen this before?” when they face new material, to view language learning as cyclical rather than linear. For example, having learnt the the Spanish for “you must….” and “you mustn’t…” in our previous topic on school and school rules, they can now apply this to state what you must and you mustn’t do in order to lead a healthy lifestyle….and in the future they will use the same language to state what you must and mustn’t do if you want to be eco-friendly.
What I really like about these photos is that they show just how productive E26 Spanish students are, and how effectively they get smart by managing their own learning and resources and accessing several source materials during the “open book” assessment. Great work, as usual!
