Sparkling Feats

In Zeiten des Fernunterrichts reichen unsere Schüler:innen ihre geschriebenen bzw. per Audio und Video aufgenommenen Arbeitsergebnisse über das Schulportal Hessen ein. Wir freuen uns immer sehr über die große Anzahl der meist sehr gelungenen (Fern-)Unterrichtsprodukte.

Unter diesen befinden sich auch einige kleine Perlen, die unserer Meinung nach besonders zu würdigen sind und daher auf mehr als nur unserer eigenen Bildschirmoberfläche aufleuchten sollten. Deshalb möchten wir Ihnen an dieser Stelle gerne die „sparkling feats“ dieser außergewöhnlichen Zeit präsentieren. Hören, sehen und erfreuen Sie sich an den wunderbaren Produkten.

Aufgabenstellung: It's sports day at Adorno-Gymnasium. For class 6, there is a football tournament. Class 6c is playing in the final against class 6d.

There is an online noticeboard for our tour. Everybody is going to write about one sight. First, read the information on the Padlet and watch the video about using Padlet. Then search information on ‘your’ sight on the internet and answer all the questions. Write a text about your sight and post it on the Padlet. Write full sentences.
