Podcasts

Related to podcasts, we selected "ELTpodcast" which we found interesting as, besides the podcast listening itself, the correspondent transcripitons are also avaIlable, for instance, ELT Podcast - Basic Conversations for EFL and ESL. We would like to note that BBC podcasts unfortunately are not available outside the UK.

Webquests

Afer going through several websites dealing with webquests, we noticed, for instance that WebquestUK provides rather useful links related to the subject students are invited to work on. This website offers relevant explanations on how to create and develop a webquest.
Another website which called our attention was "Women of the Century". The website structure was very well organized with clear instructions with all steps and resources easily available. This feature makes it easy both for teachers and students to reach their goals.

Resources by skills

On what concerns eleventh session,  we explored the BBC Education website and we realized there are great materials on it to use in the classroom. Among these, we selected a group of activities based on an online soap opera and we chose a worksheet on missing phrases which the students were supposed to fill in with the suitable sentences and then listen to the episode to check their work. We are sure this kind of tasks is extremely useful and enjoyable for students.
As for reading skills, we chose in All Books Free a e-book about animals where students have the opportunity of listening as they are reading the text. This way, they can explore vocabulary related to the theme.

Encyclopediae

On Encyclopaedia Britannica Online, on Civil Rights Movement and The Suffragettes, we came across their definition, history and origins. We found it interesting the fact that there are links somehow related to these subjects.
On Wikipedia, we came to the conclusion that both on Civil Rights Movement and The Suffraggettes, these subjects are approached on the same way as on Encyclopaedia Britannica Online.
Finally, Encyclopedia-Online Dictionary, both on Civil Rights Movement and The Suffragettes, comparing with the two previous encyclopedias, presents the same tools and similar general characteristics, however with more detailed texts on these subjects.
