How we have been talking along this course is importanto to keep on learning and don't give up the training of our English skills. This is the website I've been using along this years to prepare my exams and to review things. It's interesting because you can do exercises working different skills and all of them are graded. It's been very helfpful for me.

With this website children will be developing their artistic competence using plasticine (as well as their comunication skills) . Teachers can use it to introduce new vocabulary. In the middle of the webpage it says "things to make", "Create a Play-Doh snowboarding penguin". If you click on it, it explains to you step by step how to make it. So, while doing the figure, we can introduce to children the name of the animal, parts of the body, verbs in relation to the action, mould, shape, form, smash, roll, wrap, etc. It could be a controlled guided activity or a free activity if we ask them to do whatever they want and present it to their classmates.

The title is 'Differentiated Instruction in the English Classroom', but the document is cropped and it contains only chapter 4: 'How Do Teachers Manage a Differentiated Classroom?' I tried to find the whole text without success, sorry. This document provides us with interesting techniques and worksheets to help us when getting to know our students. In my opinion, the worksheets included are quite helpful, and they open up an easy way for us to find out more about our pupil's learning styles or their interests.

This brief article shows us the three main tools that we should bear in mind when trying to become good storytellers. I think it is crucial for us to know how to use Storytelling, inasmuch as it is a meaningful way of teaching a foreign language.
