      <title>Unit 3 Wonders of the world by Aiskel Guerrero</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/solecito22h/gbgjmtmiwjmmg9l4</link>
      <description>The activities are designed to develop and assess students’ speaking skills by encouraging them to use the present simple tense, adverbs of frequency, and superlative and comparative structures to talk about facts, opinions, and personal experiences related to wonders of the world and travel.  Students will practice:

Expressing facts versus opinions clearly and confidently.

Using correct grammar and vocabulary to explain and justify their ideas.

Improving fluency, pronunciation, and coherence in spoken English.

Engaging in meaningful communication by sharing personal thoughts and knowledge.

These activities also foster critical thinking as students decide whether statements are true or false and explain their reasoning, preparing them for real-world conversations.</description>
