Lesson plans

Hello everyone!
It’s nice having you back! 
We learned how to craft our lesson plans, teacher Orlando shared some very useful tips that I will share with you in a moment.

First of all we all agreed that PPT is used for grammar and vocabulary classes, whereas PDP is used for listening and reading classes.

 PPT envolver 
Warm up: 
We reviewed some aspects like the important things to keep in mind while warming up. It shout be short, we can start with question time.

In the PRODUCTION:
We use the language, students produce and follow structures. Up to this point we should be CCQing our students. Besides, As teachers, should make sure we use the pair-share-technique in which students first work on their own, then they should work in pairs and last but no least, the class share answers as a whole. The production can or should be in an oral way or written way. 

Teacher Orlando also said that we shouldn’t forget to add controlled and free practices. And controlled should go before free. We can add two controlled ones  and one fee practice, or 1 and 1, 2, and 2, as we consider it more appropriate, but we should always be careful with the time and in including  some imperative parts of a lesson.


Thanks for reading, here you have some pics. :)

Grammar and Vocabulary Demo Classes

Hello dear teacher and classmates!! Welcome to another weekly entry. Time flies and I can´t believe we are already in a new register! This time, let me start with a fantastic record of our last class. We did some demo classes as a team. It was very funny to see all the course wearing black as if we had planned it!😅😂 Teacher Orlando divided us into four different groups, I'll introduce mine in a second. And we performed grammar and vocabulary topics as teachers. Let´s get into it and review what each one of us presented to the class! Group 1: Vocabulary - Medical Vocabulary Group number one decided to teach medical vocabulary. I really loved their activities and the topic was especially important since we will most likely be interpreting or translating medical-related things, so I found it very useful.  First of all, they started asking some questions, they showed us some medical stuff and we brainstormed as a class, trying to guess what the right term for the image was. Then, the...

Describing Teachers

 Hi again! Welcome back to a new entry! Today we´re going to talk about teachers, yes! teachers and their amazing job and characteristics. We all have our perceptions about teachers. In my case, before our class, I described teachers as good public speakers,  popular and active or dynamic people in the classroom, and of course very patient and advocate professionals. 💫This is true but we can also describe teachers in a more pedagogical way, based on different criteria that might sound a little more technical than the one we used to describe students but, no worries, we´ll go through it in a moment! 😊 Teachers are described for their  role in the classroom , as an  organizer ,  performers , their  rapport  with students, as for being  teaching aids , and as  native and non-native  speakers. 1. Teacher´s role in the classroom: s ometimes one might believe that a teacher´s role is to teach a class, but it goes beyond. Teachers in a c...

Teaching writing

 Hi there! Welcome back to a new entry on a new topic. This time, we´ll be talking about: writing! 🤩 Our last two classes have been more theoretical, we have had some nice exercises too though.  In our first class, we rehearsed our muscles, drew some tracings, and practiced cursive and print handwriting. It felt weird, to be honest. 😅 I don't remember when I last wrote a complete sentence in cursive style I assume it’s been in years! I remember that coming back from virtuality, my hand even felt stiff! This is my handwriting in cursive and printing styles. 🤭 I am not good with cursive and kind of mix both. 😅 Then, we went a little deeper into what we actually mean by writing skills. Writing involves aspects like handwriting, spelling, punctuation, sentence construction, paragraphing, text cohesion, and register or style. We discussed that maybe for us, as Spanish speakers, we don´t have to struggle that much with handwriting, or at least not as much as learners whose writi...
