Journal #4

As an English teacher, I would like to teach children in a more recreational way. The classes of these students are a bit boring due to the grammar-only approach and repeating texts from the book. Students can learn faster if they are interested in the class and for that, the teacher must motivate them. Even that can also happen to us as an adult, if we are not interested in something, we simply ignore it. For this class I brought a human body where students must locate each part of the body and paste balls of tissue paper to fill in the blanks; In this way we substitute colors for paper. This activity not only helps students learn English but also strengthens their motor development.

This activity worked because as a teacher I managed to get the attention of the students and that they were interested in working in class, and of course, in learning English. For students it is a great change, because each teacher has his way of teaching, his pedagogy and they like the way like I teach. I really like working with students from sixth grade because they are still children and you can do many activities with them.
