It was a nice starting the last session so I hoped the same for the second and I was right. First Ana told us about a project*. After that, we played with “Loop Cards” in reference to Christmas; it’s a good way of starting to feel confidence in English. Later she showed us a website plenty of resources www.dreamenglish.com and introduced Matt’s songs. He was quite funny and kids like that.
Sandra and Eila presented their boxes of themselves. I knew them before coming to this class so it wasn’t a surprise their objects. But it helped me to think which objects can describe me. I couldn’t bring my box because I moved my new flat recently and I didn’t have too much there. Next, Ana exposed the popular English festivities.
Then, she told the story of Gingerbread man with a power point, after listening it we cut the fingers of latex gloves to do puppets about the characters of the story. Look the picture down it was a disaster I didn’t know how to draw but it was a good idea to work with kids. Another way to work the story could be making a map of the places where the story happened. It helped to remember the story and showed at home to the parents including the puppets. Lastly we had a look in the activity gingerbread bar graph to see how liked the story.
To finish the session we did a level exam to see our English. It was so much fun this session.
This is all the material I have used to do the maypole: glue, scissors, a little maypole, wire, pliers, ribbon and plastic flowers.
First of all, I have cut the bunch of flowers one by one.
Then I did a tiara with the flowers and wire.
After, I have decorated the pole with some ribbons of different colours. and tied the tiara to the pole with wire.
Finally, I have added the ribbons in the wire and it's done.
In my first day I was feeling quite restless just because it was my first session in my English mention. To my surprise we were only seven in class, that’s amazing because we had to lose our shyness to talk in English. First, Ana (my English teacher) talked about a new resource for me Glogster, https://www.glogster.com/ it is used to do presentations including all kind of ICT. It sounded very useful and I was sure I would use it.
Later, we introduced ourselves taking into account our strengths and weaknesses in reference to English language. In my case my strengths are my enthusiasm and motivation to learn and my weaknesses are my vocabulary and speaking. After this, Ana proposed for the next class to bring a box with objects that identified ourselves. I think it’s a cool idea in that way we could know each other better.
Afterwards, we played a game to break the ice called “Find someone who…”. Again it’s a game to know more people. It consisted of making questions and trying to find someone who could be that person. Next, Ana presented the entire subject and talked us about writing this blog.
This is the end of my first post I hope you liked and visit me more when you want.
