In the excerpt which follows, the teacher is describing
activities he/she can conduct with his/her students. Read it
to answer question.
Describing pictures
One simple activity that we can do with our students is to ask them to look for a photo that they enjoy, in their Photo Gallery and describe it to their speaking partner (who is in the photo, where it was taken, when it was taken, etc.). This activity generates a lot of speaking and it can even work in a lowresource class. Students can also use pictures to talk to their partners about what they did the previous weekend, in summer, etc.
Taking pictures
We can encourage our learners to take photos of menus, street signs, advertisements or posters in English and read them carefully. Students can also try to spot spelling errors or incorrect use of apostrophe (‘s).
Recording conversations/words
The voice recorder is now a substitute for the portable cassette recorder. An idea for a simple activity that we can do is get the students record themselves speaking, whether it is for short dialogues with their partners or words. Students can then listen to themselves and become more aware of their mistakes.
Using QR codes for reading activities
QR codes are becoming increasingly popular. What a QR code does is bring up a website link that it is connected to or a text for students to read. In order to use QR codes, the phone needs to have a QR code reader and a camera. The teacher can simply display the QR code in the classroom and the learners can scan it and be directed to the text or grammar exercise. Another way to use QR codes is to hide pieces of paper with QR codes in the school and have students search for them, scan them and read the text they are directed to.

Leia o texto a seguir para responder à questão.
One of the objectives of the project, Re-imagining
Multilingualisms, was to reimagine. The term ‘reimagining’ is something extremely important because
imagining and being creative are not things we are
used to doing in the academy, not in Linguistics at
least! We believe that we are empiricists, that we only
look at facts and we make conclusions. We are
pseudo-scientists. We make conclusions about what
we observe, and we think that what we observe has
got nothing to do with what we imagine. On the
contrary, it has everything to do with what we imagine.
So, when we analyse things ideologically, what is ideology?
It’s exactly an imagination which has been naturalised and
institutionalised. And so, whenever we look at the world,
we’re looking at it from the eyes of a particular learned
knowledge, an ideology. When we are asked to be able to
imagine things, it’s a point of being able to break out of our
established learning and looking for something new.
Imagining is extremely important in the learning process. If it
doesn’t happen, there is no learning. This is one of the
important things of Freirean pedagogy. For example, he
made the distinction between what he called ‘banking
pedagogies’ or ‘transmission pedagogies’ where there’s just
reproduction and repetition, and ‘transformative pedagogies’,
what he called ‘liberatory pedagogies’, which is where
creativity is involved, where you break the simple linearity of
repetition and transmission. So how does this work? How do
you promote creativity? It is by breaking what previously
seemed natural and normal.

(1º§)Volcanoes can impact climate change. During major
explosive eruptions huge amounts__volcanic gas,
aerosol droplets, and ash are injected into the
stratosphere. Injected ash falls rapidly from the
stratosphere -- most of it is removed within several days
to weeks -- and has little impact on climate change. But
volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide can cause global
cooling, while volcanic carbon dioxide, a greenhouse
gas, has the potential to promote global warming.
(2º§)The most significant climate impacts from volcanic
injections into the stratosphere come from the conversion
of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly
in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. The
aerosols increase the reflection of radiation from the Sun
back into space, cooling the Earth's lower atmosphere or
troposphere.
(3º§)Several eruptions during the past century have
caused a decline in the average temperature at the
Earth's surface of up to half a degree (Fahrenheit scale)
for periods of one to three years. The climactic eruption
of Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991, was one of the
largest eruptions of the twentieth century and injected a
20-million ton (metric scale) sulfur dioxide cloud into the
stratosphere at an altitude of more than 20 miles. The
Pinatubo cloud was the largest sulfur dioxide cloud ever
observed in the stratosphere since the beginning of such
observations by satellites in 1978. It caused what is
believed to be the largest aerosol disturbance of the
stratosphere in the twentieth century, though probably
smaller than the disturbances from eruptions of Krakatau
in 1883 and Tambora in 1815. Consequently, it was a
standout in its climate impact and cooled the Earth's
surface for three years following the eruption, by as much
as 1.3 degrees F at the height of the impact.
(4º§)The large 1783-1784 Laki fissure eruption in Iceland
released a staggering amount more sulfur dioxide than
Pinatubo (approximately 120-million ton vs. 20). Although
the two eruptions were significantly different__length and
style, the added atmospheric SO2 caused regional
cooling of Europe and North America by similar amounts
for similar periods of time.
(5º§)Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas and is
the primary gas blamed for climate change. While sulfur
dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has
occasionally caused detectable global cooling of the
lower atmosphere, the carbon dioxide released in
contemporary volcanic eruptions has never caused
detectable global warming of the atmosphere. In 2010,
human activities were responsible for a projected 35
billion metric tons (gigatons) of CO2 emissions. All
studies to date of global volcanic carbon dioxide
emissions indicate that present-day subaerial and
submarine volcanoes release less than a percent of the
carbon dioxide released currently by human activities.
While it has been proposed that intense volcanic release of carbon dioxide in the deep geologic past did cause
global warming, and possibly some mass extinctions, this
is a topic of scientific debate at present.
(6º§)Published scientific estimates of the global CO2
emission rate for all degassing subaerial (on land) and
submarine volcanoes lie in a range from 0.13 gigaton to
0.44 gigaton per year. The 35-gigaton projected
anthropogenic CO2 emission for 2010 is about 80 to 270
times larger than the respective maximum and minimum
annual global volcanic CO2 emission estimates.
(7º§)There is no question that very large volcanic
eruptions can inject significant amounts of carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere. The 1980 eruption of Mount St.
Helens vented approximately 10 million tons of CO2 into
the atmosphere in only 9 hours. However, it currently
takes humanity only 2.5 hours to put out the same
amount. While large explosive eruptions like this are rare
and only occur globally every 10 years or so, humanity's
emissions are ceaseless and increasing every year.
(8º§)There continues to be efforts to reduce uncertainties
and improve estimates of present-day global volcanic
CO2 emissions, but there is little doubt among volcanic
gas scientists that the anthropogenic CO2 emissions
dwarf global volcanic CO2 emissions.

The Prayer
(Celine Dion & Josh Groban.)
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
I pray we'll find your light
And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night
Remind us where you are.
Let this be our prayer
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
A world where pain and
Sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's
Broken will be mended
And we'll remember
We are all God's children
Reaching out to touch you
Reaching to the sky.
We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love.
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe.
