The teacher showed us useful websites to
explore for teaching literacy.
You can find the Forum by going to www.nile-elt.com > Sing In > My courses Madrid Primary

the book: http://reading.ecb.org/

Visualizing (some books you can find here)
·
Questioning
·
Evaluating
·
Prior knowledge

b)
Ready to Read: http://www.imcpl.org/readytoread/?p=6150
It
links to stories, videos stories.
c) Storyjumper: https://www.storyjumper.com/
It is a free website but if you want to print you have to pay.
Here you can create pictures and stories and
also write it.You can get photos
and write about the story you want create. Also, you can write
the title and write the name of the
author on the cover you choose and do the same thing on the back cover.
The
book you have created you can show the others and share with your family and
friends.
d) Story
quest: www.literacytrust.org.uk
Here you can draw different types
of pictures but in different order. Children point to the correct order.
All
of these websites are very nice stories tales for making projects,…
We
practiced in groups and we discussed about them and some of us thought they are
very long stories with difficult structures. We think they are fantastic ideas.
They are good resources to make a book or any activity but we need a lot of
time in lessons and lessons are not so long at schools.
After this, some colleagues recommended
literacy websites they usually use:
There is a lot of kind of resources. It is private but you can see
grammar, literacy, science, writing…
1, 2,
3 depending on the students: level 3 (6th grade)
Lesson 2
Languages
Elements of connected Speech (Johanna Stirling)
We reflected about understanding for
speech:
Why is it difficult to understand? Because in CDS is too fast or vocabulary is
not known.
Audios in CDS are more difficult comparing
with videos. Also in real life (on the telephone, radio)
We listened to a conversation in two
different ways and we thought about it:
-
Which is more difficult?
-
Similities and differences (topic, intonation, quiet, fast)
-
Which conversation is more realistic?
- What
makes it difficult?
According to statistics:
·
Too fast to process (*)
·
Not listening properly
·
The words are not spoken
clearly (*)
·
Unknown words.
·
Panic!
(*) they are the problems most important.
Teacher talked about how do we teach listening:
·
predicting
·
listening for gist
·
listening for specific
information
·
inferring
We practiced with some examples using: CAN / CAN'T
and we reflected about it. Depending on the regions the pronunciation is
different.
We wrote a dictation and we analysed in
groups the sentences and the most
important ideas: stress, intonation.
We reflected about what do we expect to hear and what do we hear.
Lesson 3
Visit
to the library in the Forum (Matgosia)
The teacher introduced the librarian. She
showed us resources for children with special needs:
- Tales with noises, sounds, textures.
- Stories sacks that contains the book, puppets, dolls.
- Books with big letter in the text.
- Others with big pictures in movement.
Also,
she showed us the most popular book:
"Minecraft" and other ones.
The librarian talked about the different places in the library, timetable, activities
and programmes.
Finally, we had free time for looking at the
books and we had the opportunity to take resources and books to help us to find
inspiration in our project.
