Introduction
Hi Students!
I have produced this Webquest in order for you to learn the importance of using prepositions. In this webquest, we are going to learn how to use prepositions related to spatial relations. So, you should be very focused doing this Webquest.
I hope you really enjoy the task.
Click on the button 'task' to be aware of the task you need to do.
Task
THE TASK: In groups of four, you need to plan a job interview! Two members will be the job interviewers and the other two will be the interviewees, who are commuters.
Press to button 'process' to continue!
Enjoy!
Process
1. Correct the homework with the teacher.
(Rewatching the video again to check your answers).
PRE-TASK:
2. In groups of four watch the following video about The Simpson's: The Final Job Test.
3. Read the sentences presented beneath about this video.
His mates are away from him because they have left the building. ___________.
(0:17 min)
The interviewers are moving towards Homer because he is about to be hired. __________.
(0:32 min)
Homer is on top of the building for the job selection. ___________.
(0:14 min)
There are many interviewees from different places to find a job in a company. ____________.
(0:05 min)
4. As you can see, all of these prepositions are used to talk about spatial relations. Which spatial relation does each preposition represent? Location, Movement, Distance and Origin.
5. Send your answers in a Word or Oppen Office document to the teacher's email.
6. All together, rewatch the video. Complete the table with more prepositions of your own. Write at least three per group.
| Location | Movement | Distance | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|
| on top of | towards | away from | from |
| below | close to |
7. After finishing, one of the group members should type the answers in a Word or Oppen Office document and send them to the teacher's email.
TASK:
1- After doing the previous activities, you should think about the roles of every group member. Remember that you are four people in the group:
- SCRIPT WRITERS: you should write the script of your role-play all together. In order to do it properly, you should plan a job interview. You should ask and answer questions using prepositions referring to space relations.
- The two interviewees are commuters: people who travel some distance to work on a regular basis.
- The other two people are interviewers.
- ACTORS/ACTRESSES: The 4 members of the group will perform the role play in front of the camera or microphone. 2 members are the job interviewers and the other 2 are the interviewees. You must read and remember the script. Practise your role a couple of times in order to perform it right.
-
CAMERA OPERATOR: In case you use https://flipgrid.com/ (use this code: flipgrid.com/enoral4), one member at a time will have to record the role-play with the video camera on the mobile phone. This communicative situation cannot last more than 4 minutes.
-
However, if you decide to record your voice with https://voicethread.com/, make sure that your voice is audible. This communicative situation cannot last more than 4 minutes.

2- Finally, your task is competed successfully!
Evaluation
In order to assess you, I will use the rubrics posted on the website:
Additionally, I will give you some individual and group feedback.
Conclusion
Finally, you have finished the task! You should feel very confident if you need to plan any job interview in the future! I hope you have taken in everything we have learnt in this Webquest!
I will correct your role-play with the rubrics and I will give you some individual and group feedback by email.
So, in this webquest we have learned prepositions referring to spatial relations. As you have learned, we can classify them into four different groups: location, movement, distance and origin.
Additionally, you should bear in mind that these prepositions are always used to refer to spatial relations.
See you soon with more Webquests!
