A blog for the CALL lessons with my two 5th classes (2007-2008) at Esc EB 2,3 Sto. António - Parede, Portugal

CALL Lesson 6 (21-22 Apr 08)

      Google maps: Geography1 (cont.)

In today's lesson you will finish the Google maps that you started last lesson. At the end of class you will see your map with "all" the placemarkers (= localizadores). I added (= acrescentei) one name to each table. You will also send a voice message to all the teachers through our voiceboard. If there is time, we will complete the table with more information about each teacher with the help of an interactive World Atlas.

• locate teachers on a Google world map
• write the name and city of each teacher in a different placemarker
