TEACHER’S REFLECTION ON 2ND JULY 2015

We started doing something related to the environmental print that we had seen in the previous session with Claudia so we looked at some signals on the whiteboard and we discussed in small groups how to work with that in our classes, such as giving directions, making role plays, creating stories, miming… We also assess some worksheets depending on the level we teach and we had a look at a video which revises one of the Science topics we usually deal with. This is a good activity as a listening and revision. We discussed in the groups that the activities were quite good but in real life we haven´t got enough time to develop such kind of tasks.



After the break we had a drama lesson with David Farmer, director and writer. He made a short introduction about himself and we started to make some games: drama freeze, scene theme or fruit salad as an example. These are good activities that we can easily put into practice to revise grammar or vocabulary as well as to integrate students with special needs or those who are shyer than others and also as an introduction to work on a further task as for example in the case of the scene theme we can start with this activity and create a story afterwards.


Finally with Malgosia we dealt with the way to encourage students to speak. The best way to do it is using puppets, finger puppets, masks, depressors with photos of our students... We also can revise grammar and vocabulary as well as create stories or poems. 


Photographs: coming soon!
