Using pets as a topic for discussion

At IES La Laboral we are using pets as a topic in our bilingual program.

In english class students have the oportunity to practice:

  • using the modal auxiliary verbs should and must
  • speaking spontaneously to describe their pets and relate anecdotes
  • giving opinions

In biology class students have the opportunity to:

  • classify their pet according to the Linnaean system
  • prepare a profile of a fantasy pet, classifying it and describing its habitat, diet, means of reproduction etc
