Journal Week 5

Journal #5

The role of the teacher is very important in the student, because the teacher is responsible for cultivating that knowledge. In order for the student to feel motivated to learn, the teacher must find a way to get their attention and for the student to learn while having fun. The students do not practice oral skills very much, so I made the students play a role play. The topic was about descriptive and personality adjectives, and the best way to put it into practice is in a conversation. I looked for a guide about the description of the zodiac signs and that, based on this, they created a dialogue where one of them would interpret the sorcerer and the other student the consultant.

The first part was a bit difficult because students were not used to these types of activities and were afraid of making mistakes in front of their classmates. They did  the dialogue, of course with my help. The first group showed a lot of fear, but the following groups broke the ice and did so with less fear. All students could not present their dialogues due to the time limit, but I think the most important thing is that they have worked in class.

Students also learned the types of accidents that can occur anywhere and how we could prevent them. The advantage of these accidents is that they are very common in everyday life, so the students assimilated it very quickly.
