H5P: Using English in everyday situations

Activity 18 · 1%
What you bring
From the forum: your own sentences and your classmates' feedback. Now the class explains every detail, and the Campus H5P checks that you understand a real text.
What this prepares you for
The assignment «My first conversation — video» needs this language to build your product.

How the H5P works: the site and the UNAH Virtual Campus

  1. Here, on the site: study the class below. It has no grades: read, listen and go further as much as you want.
  2. On the UNAH Virtual Campus: log in, enter your English I class and open Activity 18 · H5P: Using English in everyday situations. It is graded (1%).
  3. If you make a mistake, the feedback says «Review slide N». Come back to that slide here.
  4. Try again. Your best attempt counts in the gradebook.
  5. Pass mark: 65 %. 65 % or more = competency reached. Your teacher reads your result as a percentage or as a competency level (see below).
  6. Culture: the last text of the H5P is about the Cultural Corner of your period (III PAC). Study slide 6.

Aquí estudias la clase (sin nota). En el UNAH Virtual Campus realizas el H5P calificado. Si fallas, la retroalimentación te dice qué pantalla repasar aquí; luego vuelves a intentarlo y cuenta tu mejor intento.
