Hello everyone!

In this third post I am going to talk about the activity of the museum and the ones that preceded it. Again! Another activity of our wide variety of resources to use as future teachers.

Before this activity, we had to answer some questions of our reading life to our partners, as an introductory exercise, and then we had to make our own beautiful and original map in which we had to reflect about our whole lives, since the first time we read. Some people had not ever reflected about it, and now we had the chance to do it. This is one reason why I find this activity fascinating.

Yes, for me this was a really good opportunity, because I have thought about some situations and feelings I had when I was little, and it will help me understand my future students. As well as it happened to me, it will happen to our children. They will express their reading feelings on a paper, so this will open their minds and help them know better about themselves and about their lives.

Another reason why I like this activity is that it will be really useful for the teacher. For us, in the future, it is a good thing to get closer to our students and try to know them as better as we can, in a friendly atmosphere but respecting a limit and maintaining a difference between the students and the teacher. With this activity, we can know more about their personal lives and likings, to try to guide and manage the class the best way.

It is really good to know how they feel reading, because we can know the differences between the students and how to act with them. Also, we can take the correct path and try to bring some books according to their preferences.

Furthermore, children are going to share experiences and have the opportunity to talk to each other, exchanging opinions and even giving some advices and feedback.

As a conclusion, I think this kind of activities are very important in a class, because a rapprochement between  the students, and between teacher and students is needed to look at things with different points of view, and also to lead the class as a compact group and going to the right direction.

Thank you for reading!
