Hi everyone! How was your weekend? I hope your weekend has been very useful and restful. For today, I am going to write about something that in my opinion we have liked a lot. I am going to talk about the workshop related to Aladdin.
First of all, I have to say I love the idea of work with real students. Why? Because, I think is better for us due to we can apply things and notice if these things work correctly with real students of Primary or not.
For this work, I consider that all of us are going to be involved because is something different an d related with our future and at least for me I am waiting for it very exciting.
Related with the workshop, I have to say that I love the way in which our teacher Raquel did the election of the tale to work with. It was like a Goya’s Awards and for me was very nice.
These kind of things in my opinion make the difference between a traditional method and probably a boring class or an innovation method and a very motivating class.
The three topics that I like a lot were: The Jungle Book, The Lord of rings and Aladdin. I consider, it would be better The Jungle Book because based on my experience it has more topics to work with than Aladdin or The Lord of rings, but this does not mean that I don’t like because I like too. When I thought in which tale has to be the favourite one to prepare the activity, I thought in The Jungle book because I thought in different kind of animals (mammals, reptiles…) but also in domestic and wild animals. Another thing that I thought was to work with jungle, forest…
As someone has said in the blog, we have to prepare the activity consciously to do it in the best way as possible. I feel a lot like to start with the workshop and I hope it will be success. It has to MARK A MILESTONE.
Finally, I have to say it is a good idea to work contents through a tale because is a different and catchy way to present them a new topic. It is a great resource to introduce the content or the concept you are going to work because you are going to use in a different way.
For this reason, as teachers, we have to take into account when we will be teachers and be careful with the things that we do with our students. If we want to be normal teachers and to have a boring teaching style, is easy to prepare each class, but if you want to make the difference, if you want to be THE BEST and do the BEST for your students and for motivate them you have to take into account this kind of things to improve each lesson and be able to catch the attention of each student. I know is difficult, but do you dare? Remember, you have not to be a normal teacher, you have to be THE BEST ONE. If you like things that you do and you are sure that things you are going to do are good you can transmit them this kind of things.
I hope you like it and make you reflect on it.
Best regards.
