This activity fosters oral interaction among the students. These are the steps to be developed: Students are grouped. The students look for information about the current billboard and the prices of the cinema's bar. The students plan the organisation of that information on Genially. The teacher provides the students guidance to direct the oral interaction, proposing topics to talk about (prices, menu, film's synopsis, etc.). The teacher helps to solve any technical problem about Genially. The students direct the discussion and agree with the whole class on: Film selected. Menu selected. Meeting point. Time to meet. The students grouping and timing is decided by the teacher, depending on the students' skills and trying to make heterogeneous groups. Below can be seen the final product from the students: https://view.genial.ly/61b62017a64dd70da16f51f8/presentation-presentacion-television This activity allowed the students to develop several key competences and skills, as they

Link to the resource: https://edpuzzle.com/media/61b1ba70140f4b42b235a8a5 I chose this video as it's a short story, supported with images (which are also attractive to Primary Education students) and with an easy vocabulary range. The learning objectives are: Global understanding of the story. Understanding of particular details within the story. Dealing with ordinal numbers. Dealing with Past Simple verbs. Dealing with feelings. Previous activity: students match vocabulary of the lesson using wordwall.net and solve a word search in pairs.

Later, when I was a teenager, I started reading for pleasure. I had a lot of free time and I spent a brief time reading before going to sleep. All this reading was in my mother tongue: Spanish, with traditional paper books. Nowadays, I have changed my reading habits, as I mainly read in English, just research and specialized articles about education, using my laptop or tablet (reading PDF's or online). Taking a look at these pictures, I supose that people in the first, third and fifth photos are reading for pleasure, as they are reading books and a newspaper.

The people that are reading freely should feel relaxed, with a purpose
