    POST

    Post activity:

    Once we have talked about viral diseases, symptoms, and so on; we will proceed to do one last activity to show how much the students learned about these viruses and if they have clarified their doubts about any of them. For this we will use a game called "who wants to be a millionaire" in which there will be a number of questions about the viruses already seen that will level up if the student answers correctly. The objective of this activity is to conclude in a fun way with the help of its classmates the topic of viral diseases. At the same time, students will be expanding their knowledge and vocabulary in English.
