*Recycle language and vocabulary as much as possible:..............

a)....use structures the children already know.
b)...recalls the language of the previous lesson and connects with the present lesson.

d)...as relevant and communicative as possible.
e)...listening and speaking.
f)...in different context, different activities and using different skills.

Journal

Hope you didn´t forget about it.

What is it that you have to do?
You have already been appointed an activity, some of you have already performed, some are still missing, but all of you can reflect about:
Which were your worries, concerns, etc when preparing the activity?
How did you organize the activities within the group?
What did you feel after the performance?
Was it as you expected or not? If not, why?

SO EVERYBODY..... TAKE YOUR PENS AND START ....WRITING

CLARIFYING

As you were asked to hand in the paper containing the activities before and after the one you present, I will clarify it again:
Tell exactly what you will do before, for example: What will the children do?
What will you give them? Which words? Which actions?
In order to think about that, try to connect the three activities.If I do something in the first one , it´s because I need it in order to help my students, understand, do , write, draw or whatever you intend to do in the third activity.

HOPE IT´S USEFUL. REMEMBER NEXT WEDNESDAY LAST TIME TO HAND IN!



IMPORTANT: Read the blog during this week some more assignments are waiting...
Have a nice Sunday:)
