SECUENCIA DIDÁCTICA
ENGLISH 3rd Year
Teacher: Nicolás De La Reta
Muy buenos días chicos y chicas! Hoy vamos a trabajar con la tercera historia de
nuestra guía, "Jimmy´s Rock Collection".
Primero que nada vamos a leer la historia, igual que como veníamos haciendo con las
anteriores, y vamos a hacer las actividades propuestas en la guía.
Después de leer la historia, la primer actividad es completar el cuento escribiendo las
palabras que estén entre paréntesis conjugadas de la manera correcta al presente
simple en los espacios en blanco, es decir agregando la letra "s/ es/ ies" según sea el
caso, y para ello podemos usar de ayuda la historia completa.
Seguido a ello, vamos a encontrar una actividad en donde tendremos definiciones y
deberemos ubicar al lado de cada definición, la palabra que corresponde, usando las
palabras del cuadro de texto que está en la parte superior de esa hoja.
Luego llegamos a la parte de gramática pura y debemos corregir las oraciones
propuestas, en el primer caso debemos ordenar las palabras para formar oraciones
lógicas, es decir, que tengan coherencia y cohesión (sentido); luego pasar las oraciones
propuestas al modo interrogativo; en el siguiente punto pasar las oraciones al modo
negativo; y por último, convertir las oraciones que están en modo interrogativo a
oraciones en modo positivo.
Una vez que finalizamos con la guía de actividades, vamos a realizar el cuestionario
que corresponde a la historia, que estará habilitado hasta el sábado 16 de Mayo.

Simple Present, Story 3
Jimmy’s Rock Collection Jimmy collects rocks. His rock collection is huge. He
has many different kinds of rocks in his collection.
Some of them even glow in the dark! One of his
rocks is from outer space!
Jimmy works in an office, but when he is in front of
his computer, he usually dreams about rocks. Jimmy
thinks about rocks more than he thinks about his
girlfriend!
After work, Jimmy often goes for long walks. He
always takes a bag of tools with him: safety glasses,
hammer, cleaning brush, magnifying glass, rock
book, and a camera.
Jimmy usually finds many interesting rocks on his walks. His safety glasses
protect his eyes while his hammer breaks the rocks into smaller pieces. He
cleans the rocks with his cleaning brush, and then studies the rocks with his
magnifying glass. Then he uses his rock book to learn more about his rocks.
When Jimmy cannot bring an interesting rock home, he usually takes a photo
of the rock. There are lots of photos in Jimmy’s rock collection!
When Jimmy gets home, he always goes to the basement. In his basement, he
organizes his new rocks. Sometimes, he studies his old rocks. He often sings
while he works with his rocks.
Jimmy spends most of his time with his rocks. He is crazy about rocks, and he
knows this. But Jimmy’s girlfriend does not understand this. It worries her. She
loves Jimmy and wants to be his wife. She wants Jimmy’s rock collection to
include another rock—a big diamond ring for her!
