Ideas previas

Consulte a los estudiantes qué entienden por apps: Do you know what apps are? Share some ideas around the concept of apps, their use, characteristics,where you can find them, etc. Anote en la pizarra la palabra app en el centro y con las respuestas de los estudiantes cree un mind map para tener la mayor cantidad de ideas posibles.

Profundización y variaciones

Pida a los estudiantes que observen la imagen correspondiente a la actividad: Look at the image on page 6. What can you see? What can you relate the image to?

Una buena idea es preguntarles cuántos de esos elementos usan en su vida diaria y para qué. How many of these elements (apps) do you use in your everyday life? What for?

De este modo, podrán vincular los contenidos que están a punto de ver con sus experiencias personales, generando mayor interés en los contenidos que están por conocer. Esto como complemento para la actividad Before Listening.
