The main aims of this new challenge in level 1 were:
To practise what they have learnt in context.
To involve all families in their children’s learning process .
To learn in a fun way.
On this occasion the challenge was purposed by the children after 1 week working with the “Question of the week”: What’s your favourite animal?
Each day, the lesson started as follows:
“If you want to come and join the class….Answer the Question of the week”
Once being familiar with the Question of the week and the vocabulary, I explained that they were going to become interviewers. In L1 we talked about why people do an interview (“get information”)and what we need to make it(“questions”). Finally,before interviewing two classmates they prepared their interviews.
Here you have the first three interviews received.
Desta volta, a idea do reto foi a proposta dos propios nenos. Os obxectivos que nos marcamos con esta nova proba foron:
Practicar o aprendido en contexto.
Implicar ás familias no proceso de aprendizaxe.
Gozar aprendendo.
Durante unha semana, para familiarizarnos coa pregunta da unidade, soamente podíamos acceder á aula respondendo a pregunta da semana: What’s your favourite animal?
Despois de explicarlles en que consistía a nova actividade, falamos sobre o que era unha entrevista, para que se facía(“para obter información”)e que necesitabamos para poder entrevistar a alguén(“preguntas”).
Pero antes de entrevistar aos nosos compañeiros, preparamos as nosas entrevistas e practicamos na clase. Finalmente, decidimos a quen iamos entrevistar na casa e preparamos a entrevista para levar. A verdade é que o resultado foi excelente!!!
