1.        1. Description of the class

Several groups of students carried out several activities, addressint two different themes: Listen and do and Speaking more freely.

• Listen and do: we used total physical response.
• Speaking more freely: we used balloons

2.      2. Describe what you learn in the class

   In activities related to listen and do we did several things:

•     The first one. We had to imitate animals (lion, snake or a monkey) depending on the color of the student´s clothes (people with: white colors are lions,  black colors are snakes, other colors are monkeys)
•     The second one. We had to do actions depending on a listening video (we danced, washed the dishes, vacuumed the floor and organized the bedroom.
•       The third one. We played to Simon says. When we listened to simon says do judo, we had to represent the action, but if you didn´t listen it, would not have to do it.

In activities related to Speaking more freely we did several things:

•       The first one. In a circle, we had to pass the ball to your right partner and when music stopped you had to answer a question by the teacher.
•     The second one. In pairs, you had to draw while you pay attention to the instructions of your partner. (In other words, one partner had a picture and the other one had to follow the instructions in order to obtein a similiar image)
•     The third thing. In groups, we had to describe a place where we want to go on holidays.

3.        3. Opinion about the class.

I have found this class very useful to learn about resouces, methods and materials that we can bring to the classroom.

1.       1. Description of the class

Several groups of students carried out several activities, addressing two different themes: Speaking with support and Reading in English.

Speaking with support: find your partner (using animals), so ypu have to make questions to other classmate to find your partner.

Reading in English: It can be extensive or intensive. Reading skills: Skimming (the general idea) or scanning (looking for specific information). We had to put in order the poem. When you read you have to answer the film

2.      2. Describe what you learn in the class

In activities related to Speaking with support we did several things:

• The first one “the game of dominoes”. Each couple was given a card with two potos of clothing ítems. We had to find our partner through questions (Ex.: Is it brown?) If the other pair had our same image we had to join to them and so on until we form a chain.
• The second one. We listened a son, so we had to sing and do the actions that we could saw in the video.
• The third one. We had the same as the first thing that I have explained before, but the only different was that each person had a card with the name of an animal, so each one had to find his or her partner. Then, in pairs we imitated the animals that we had.

In activities related to Reading in English we did several things:

• The first one. We learnt that the action of Reading can be extensive or intensive and we can develop two different skills: scanning (when you look to specific information) or skimming (the general idea).
• The second thing. We had to put in order several parts of a text (poems, essays or letters).
• The third thing. We read a paragraph that corresponded to a Disney film and we had to act it out in the classroom.

1.       1. Description of the class

Several groups of students carried out several activities, addressing two different themes: Teaching young learners and writing.

2.      2. Describe what you learn in the class

When teachers teach young learners they have to take into account the following considerations

•  Routine activities. This is important for children because they need to have some habits.
• Storyjumper activities are good for young people to practise speaking or listening activities. Teacher can use this tool using Total Physical Response.
•  Description about yourself coul be a really motivating activity to introduce young learners to the rest of the class.

In activities related to writing we did several things:

• We parctised Christmas vocabulary using some potos.
• We listened a song (“All I want for Christmas is you”- Maria Carey) and completed the gaps.
•  We wrote a letter for Santa Klaus.
• We made an story using dices with different images.
