Erasmus students email

Last Wednesday we had the opportunity to meet two English boys in class: Brad and Jonathan. During their stay each group asked them a series of questions to know their culture, tastes, customs, their opinion about Spain, why they had decided to study Spanish ...

Once this was done, the teacher proposed to send them an email to invite them to stay so that we could engage in a conversation with them, so we could practise English and them Spanish, as well as being able to form a beautiful friendship.

Our invitation is the following and your answer has been ....

MEMORIES.

This is our project number 5, which consists of observing how and how Education has changed in recent years, for this we have made a video / story about the past, present and future of a school. This project is called "A video about my school: past, present and future".

For the realization of this project we have written a story about the school stage of our partner Eva, and how she has been through her school.

Firstly, we have selected the photos that we have considered appropriate and important to place in our history, then we have written the story of our partner Eva in relation to the previous images. In addition to completing our story, we have recorded telling that story. Finally we all appear in this story, where we begin our journey as future teachers of early pre-school and primary education.

Here is the video of this project, we hope you like it.

          As a conclusion, the main change that I and my colleagues highlignt  is the technological advancement and the speed and eficiency of new technologics in school. Now all classes have digital whiteboard and in many classes all children make use of their tablets and laptops. And now they work a lot more in group and  motivate students a lot.                                                                                                                                                          

CREATING FLASHCARDS AND MIND MAPS

PROJECT 4

For the realization of the project "Creating flashcards and minds maps", we have chosen the theme of The school (school material, subjects, ...), since we consider that it is an issue with which students are familiar in their day to day and they need to know.

This educational proposal focuses on, the fifth year of primary education, aimed at students aged 10-11 years. As a legal frame of reference for our Valencian Community, Decree 108/2014. Our main focus will be on the Foreign Language Area (English), within this area our main objective is to facilitate a dynamic, visual and fun learning of the language. and globally we will work on the other areas of the curriculum. Another of our objectives is to learn to value and show respect for the school, as well as the physical, natural, social and cultural environment.

We have developed a mind map to introduce our theme to the students before starting to work with FlashCards. Here you can see it.

To carry out this conceptual map we have used a program called Edraw Mind Map.

Then we will present our Flashcards for students to learn vocabulary (for them to have sound, we did it from power point, then downloading it as images can not reproduce the sound).

The activity we have proposed to do with our Flashcards is called "BINGO SCHOOL". The teacher will distribute a template, like the image, to each student.
Afterwards, the teacher will teach students a Flashcard covering the word or image.

For example:
The teacher will put the image on the interactivewhiteboard and the students should cross out the word or put the word and the students should cross out the image.
Another variant of this activity would be a listening, in which the teacher put the sound of the Flashcards and the students would have to go through the Bingo boxes associating the image with the sound or the word with the sound.

The first student who can cross out an entire line will have to say LINE.

The student will be able to cross out all the images or words in the template (check if it is OK) and say BINGO

Finally, to say as a conclusion to this project, which we find interesting as future teachers of pre-school and primary education. Because it is a very visual and attractive form of learning for children, and motivator of any subject.
