- 3/10 & 7/10 -

I want to explain something very interesting I've realized in the first day of this passed week (Monday). It's something I think it could be useful and so, I and we have to take example of it. What I want to tell you is that my teacher starts all the clases till now by explaining what we had done the last day of class, making a review. Checking if we remember and if we understood all. 

Well, now that I told you let's continue with what I learnt in the Monday class and it's about how to start a PROJECT. In the beginning it's essential to know the previous knowledge of your students, thereby you will know how to start and with what you can count with. 

Then, after you know the previous knowledge, you have to do some questions to yourself.

- Where am I now?                     - Where am I going?                  -How can I close the gap?

Once you have the previous knowledge and you have answer this 3 questions, you have to write the outcomes, and to arrive to that outcomes from de pupil's previous knowledge you have to start thinking in some activities for the project, by using the topic.

At the end of this class our teacher show us another activity example of how grouping students and also learn about opposites and adjectives. 

ACTIVITY

It consists in bringing to class some objects that are rounded, thin, thick or other adjectives, and learn this adjectives with the pupils. Once they have learn them, they have to make a circle, put their hands back and close their eyes and you will put in their hands some objects. They don't have to look to the others, nor saying anything about their objects. We will put the same object to some kids, to make sure we can group them by the objects. They will have to describe the object and guess who have the same as their. They have to group with this descriptions. 

On Friday the teacher talked about two books that will be useful to our future job as teachers and also for growing in education knowledge.

We also talked about a video that criticized the school system(you can check it out here. We realized the differentiation that exists in each class of each school of the world, and how this can enrich teaching and learning.

I will put some of the thoughts of the video that I liked the most:

- "Children are 20% of our population, but 100% of the future"

- "It's so important to connect with the kids and create collaborative environment bot a competitive one"

- " There are different ways of learning, but the same way to teach"

- "Curriculum are made by politics who probably have never been in a classroom" 

This few quotes make you think a lot about the school system and the responsibility that we have as teachers...
