Puppet Pals shopping task in a German primary school

Disgrifiad

In this task, primary school learners create a short story using the Puppet Pals App, which allows the user to make animated scenes and add audio recordings. The story consists of three scenes: creating a shopping list, talking to the shop assistant, and paying at the cash register. In the post-task phase, the finished outcomes are shared in class and reflection was offered by the teacher. As the class has previously worked extensively on the vocabulary related to food, toys, classroom objects and sports, it was time to put them in action. Moreover, the learners have been introduced to phrases such as ‘Can I help you?’, ‘Anything else?’, ‘How much is it?’, and ‘Here you are.’ Since the task was to create a series of scenes taking place at a shop, the pair of learners first had to decide on the type of shop, the actors, as well as the items to be purchased. After gathering flashcards of the items, and the pictures of the actors, the learners added the audio recordings. In order to prevent mistakes, the pair of learners listened to their recordings and, with the help of the teacher, re-recorded them.
