Create you own city

By Blanca Serrano

This is a creative activity for 3rd-4th ESO.

Students design their own city: name, location, mayor, inhabitants, landmarks, flag, festivals, traditions, typical meals, social problems…. 

You can find details here:

Then, they create a presentation (canva, powerpoint, genially…) which helps them in an oral presentation of around 5 minutes in which they describe their city to the rest of the class. It’s important that these digital presentations are schematic, not including much text, just a visual help for both speakers and listeners. Details should be provided orally.

It can be done in groups or individually (last year and this year each student is creating his own city due to COVID)

In order to encourage students to pay attention to all partners, when all the presentations have been done, the teacher can create a Kahoot or other type of quiz with details about the presentations.
