Groups 5 and 6

Hello everyone! Welcome to another post! 

Group 5:

Last Thursday it was my groups turn to present. We arrived early and at first we just had an student so I worried a bit but then more students joined.

My group's topic was the time, so we made sure that we explained it trough different engaging activities. Our class turned out to be a very dynamic one and I could really tell students enjoyed it and learned something new, even if they had a clue about the topic already.

Our class started with the warm up, Miriam lead the activity which was called " the human knot" and it made students awake, i think they had fun and got ready to engage in our class.

After that, Fernando explained the topic, he started by gelling students that we use numbers so they quickly reviewed it as they were getting more into the topic, he did it with a great energy and he even took advantage of the a magic moment to introduce a new word.

Then dani took a "magic basket" and the ones getting the same slip color from it would work in pairs. One student would ask a  question related to daily activities and the  student would reply saying the time he or she did that activity.

Later, María continued with some practices and presented the time in different cities around the world and she also gave some interesting facts about time.

The, it was my tourn. I had taken some crafted clocks and after pairing students, I instructed them to set a time, and the other student would say the time and then they would compare. I also did a writing activity in a boys vs girls game and they loved it!

Finally, for the wrap up, Miriam had students play Bingo,she would say some hours, words or objects that they learned in class and they had to make a vertical or horizontal row in order to win. It was very fun!

Group 6:

Group 6 presented the topic "There is and there are". Something I really liked about this team was that they made it very clear when it comes to the difference between singular and plural, proof of it was when a student verbalized that "there is is for one thing" and "there are" is used for two or more things. 

 They explained the theory and relied in Spanish rules to make it clear in English, and then they also had some writing exercises to make sure they got the idea. They presented some images and students had to figure it out between there is and there are, among other exercises like gap filling, etc. 

I'll leave some pics, all at the end, thank you guys for reading this summary, see you around! Bye-bye!

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...
