Hi everyone,

I think this post could be the last one at least for now. For the last post, because this is ending, I would you to talk about the great experience during this last week that I could put into practice on Monday. I cannot say a lot of things, because there is a group that left to do it some activities that I did on Monday but I want to say you some of my experiences during the class.

First of all, I am going to star with the first day. It was Monday, and as all Monday people came to class a little bit tired because of the weekend. We were in a different place, not in our class but in the “Polivalente” building. This was the first thing I liked because I consider catchy and motivate for us to change the space in which we normally have the classes.

I am 28 years old, but in that class I felt like a child of 8-10 years old because I loved the things that I was doing. Each activity was better than the previous one. It was not only a literature class, but also it could be useful for a Science class, Physical education class and also for English class (using some tenses, such as past continuous, past simple, etc.)

It was really funny, because we could relate with the workshop of Aladdin, due to in some cases we have to imitate some characters of fairy tales, and some of us chose this film to imitate characters because it was recent. But it was not so easy, only Aladdin, also the Lion King, Rapunzel, Cinderella, etc…all the fairy tales that we can remember in that moment.

Is there any better idea to motivate them for the reading than this?

In my opinion, it is very important to maintain the attention of your students and for this it could be great to do some activities similar to the activities that we did on Monday. On Monday, it could be related also with role playing. Related with role playing and the motivation in class, I have been looking a website in which tell us a project that they did for Infant education, but I consider fantastic and perfect for our future students, maybe changing the topic of the project depending on what we want to work with them, or maybe some activities or some things that in this project are very easy for students of Primary. I love the idea to prepare and motivate our students for the topic we want to. I have to say that I know it is difficult to do all of these activities in class in our daily life because we have no time, but I am talking about one or two topics in a year not all the topics doing the same.
