"La Zafra Virtual Zoo"

La segunda tarea del curso la dedicaremos a los animales y más concretamente a algunas especies en peligro de extinción. Durante las próximas semanas vamos a investigar, hablar, leer... en definitiva, aprender más sobre ciertas especies animales que se encuentran amenazadas y ver si podemos hacer algo para frenar esas amenazas. Como tarea final, vamos a grabar una ENTREVISTA A UN ANIMAL que posteriormente editaremos y subiremos a la red para que podamos escucharlas y compartirlas más allá del aula. Pero para llegar a esa tarea final, hay que hacer otras muchas cosas. La primera será aprender a trabajar en grupo, colaborando y compartiendo responsabilidades. Os iré dando instrucciones sobre cómo actuar en cada momento, pero recuerda que en definitiva eres tú el o la principal responsable de tu trabajo y cada decisión que tomes será importante para el éxito final del proyecto.
And now... Let's start: 1. Make groups according to the teacher's instructions. Give the Group a name and start talking in order to choose an animal. Use the worksheet you will be given for this task. To help you choose your animal, you can find a list of main endangered species as well as pictures, videos and so on, at the BAGHEERA website. For a larger list of animal species, visit THIS WEB. At this stage you don't need to know a lot about these animals; just have a look and try to agree with the rest of your group on the name of YOUR animal.
When you have decided what animal to learn about, tell the teacher and follow his instructions.
Good Luck!!
(En este punto es necesario tener acceso a documentos que se puedan descargar, escribir en ellos, etc. Por eso, ahora nos mudamos a una wiki:
