Greetings to my readers, this is the 2nd record of work in this course, this time I'm going to start describing the audience I had to perform the activity, they were Irina's students from her personal academy "Little big students" which ages goes from 5 to 12 years old so they are kind of hard to keep under control, although they are pleased to participate and help in any activity their teacher set for them which was a nice help, the activity took place at a class room decorated with posters, pictures, a withe board and some other stuff, as long as most the students are children kinesthetic-type students I used those poster to develop one of the activities already done at CAPEIEM classroom, it was "guess who I am" the game in which one student is sitting backwards the rest of the group, then the teacher stick to the student a piece of paper with the name of a profession or an animal, then by making some questions they will try to guess what is his/her profession or animal, to do that, first I used the posters on the walls to explain some of the professions and animals, then play the game, the activity went well the students had fun and learned some new vocabulary which was the main focus of the activity, the language used in the classroom was like 60% Spanish 40% English, because of their level, even though Irina and I tried to use as more the target language as possible, the students questions were more in Spanish than in English but we managed to help them to use some expressions in English, and of course sounds, what went not so well was try to keep the control of the students even though there were a few of students they had pretty much energy, that was not a real problem because there were actually kids so it was expected, leaving that the students were pleased to the activity.
Here I present some pictures taken that day.
Thanks to Irina and her students for the help.
Hi Andrés! It is nice to know you are applying at least some of the activities done in the course. It would have been great to know what things you would change from the strategy to avoid classroom issues during the activity. It is great you consider to review/present the vocabulary first, before the game. Did you give any clues to the students? Focus the activities on only one topic, so the children can concentrate on remembering specific vocabulary.
