SUMMARY OF YOUR 2ND YEAR AT LA CAMPIÑA SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Your second year as students of La Campiña School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is almost over!!

First of all, as Headmistress of this magical school, I want to congratulate The Lightining Hunters, who were the winners of the 1st Year House Cup. They did a great work and as a reward, they could celebrate their victory with a magical meal.

This year, all Houses are working very hard, but only one of them will win the 2nd year House Cup. Who will be the next winners?

Here is a summary of all that has happened so far:

TASK 1
During the first few lessons of this second year, our wizards and witches saw the second film of the Harry Potter saga: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. During each lesson, they had to answer some questions about it and pay attention to details (events, characters, spells, magical creatures,etc.). These details will be useful for the second part of their board games.

TASK 2
Then, it was time  to train our students’ magical ear! How much do you know about the woman behind the magical world of Harry Potter ? Our students had to listen  to J.K. Rowling's story and they learnt  how believing in your dream and fighting for it can lead you to success.

  Who is J.K.Rowling?

And how did Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) live the filming of The Chamber of Secrets? What about the director, Chris Columbus? Our students could hear about their experiences.

TASK 3
For this task, our wizards and witches wrote an entry  about their experience as students of a magical school. They used their magical diaries to talk about their teachers, their friends,  the school facilities, all the spells and potions they have learnt and many more things.

Here you can see some of their wonderful magical diaries:

TASK 4
And now, all of our houses are working on a magical news programme. A lot of things have happened this year at Hogwarts and the Wizarding World wants to know about them.

TASK 4: Creating the board game

Congratulations, wizards and witches of La Campiña School! You have successfully fulfilled task 1 (creating your house), task 2 (watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and answering questions about it) and  task 3(listening to some interviews to the cast of the film and to an audio about the Harry Potter phenomenon). You are ready to start working on the most important task and your main goal as a House: creating the first part of your Harry Potter game!! Are you excited about it? Then, go on reading for instructions.

All 7 Houses in our School (The Lighnting Hunters, The Lords of Might and Magic, Electric Golden, Wild Magic, Titans, The United Forces and Phoenix Squad) must create their own  version of the board game based on the films. This first term, you must only create the first 20 squares of the game, which will be based on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. However, although the seven games will be different, all of them must have some common elements:

• 5 squares in which a question will be asked. You must create a set of 25-30 cards asking a question about the film, its events, its characters,its magical elements, etc.

           HOW TO FORM SUBJECT AND OBJECT QUESTIONS IN ENGLISH

• 5 squares in which players will have to take a bad luck card (you can invent another name for them).You must create a set of 25-30 cards with unfortunate events for the players based on the film. For example, The door to the room where Fluffy is sleeping is locked. You haven't learned the spell to open locked doors yet. Miss one turn).

• 5 squares in which players will have to take a good luck card (you can invent another name for them) which they can use when they need it. You must create a set of 25-30 cards with favourable events based on the film (for example, "Your friend Hermione uses the spell Alohomora, which opens locked doors".

• 5 squares with a message on it telling players to move to another square forward or backward. Remember everything must be based on the film. For example,"The stairs are changing. They lead you to the boys' dormitories. Go to square 15".

           

IMPORTANT!

Every board game comes with the instructions about how to play, so first of all,  you must write down the instructions of this first part of the game, indicating how many players can play, how many squares there are, how to play and how to win the game. Click below to learn the grammar you need:
