PROJECT: TEACHING OUR CLASSMATES!!!

Hi guys!!!

I realize that starting English lessons implies to review verbal tenses and I know you all are fed up with this idea that is why I plan a different way to deal with tenses and verbs. You will work in groups and each group will be the teacher during two weeks to explain the rest of the class how tenses work.

Here you are the groups: 

Group in charge of present simple and continuous is: (first and second week in October)

1. MARÍA CUESTA
2. NACHO GARCÍA
3. JUAN MANUEL FUENTES
4. NATALIA GARCÍA
5. RAÚL GORRIONERO

Group in charge of past simple and continuous is: (third and fourth week in October)

1. TERESA MARCOS
2. NICOLÁS LOZANO
3. JORGE MONTERO
4. DAVID VICENTE
5. PABLO JUAN

Group in charge of future simple and going to be future is: (first and second week in November)

1. FERNANDO RUBIO
2. YADIRA GARCÍA
3. ANA VAQUERO
4. JORGE GARCÍA
5. DENISA OLTEAN

To deal with this project, we all follow some guidelines. You should be creative in order to make your classmates have fun with your explanations and all the stuff you will give to them to work with it

In your lessons' plans you should take into consideration these aspects:

• Verbal tense structure in affirmative, negative and interrogative.
• Uses of this verbal tense
• Activities to put in practise all you have learnt. 

Be creative in your explanations, involve your classmates to participate or to ask them some questions...when you plan your activities use different formats: internet, sheet, project....

Everything has to be explained in English. All members of the group will lead and speak in the explanations or activities and creativity will be considered to increase your final mark.

Take it seriously and be organized...this project is an important one for you all to review and refresh tenses in a different way.

Good luck guys...at the end you will share your impressions of being a teacher for a couple of weeks with me!!!

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL, NEW STUDENTS!!!

Hi everybody!!!

Here we are, together, to start a new year in our English lessons. I do not know your expectations for my subject but I realise that lots of students like you, are not able to talk in English for several reasons: they scare, they feel insecurity, they feel embarrassed or even a little bit ridiculous....This year, things are going to change...we will feel confident and impressed with yourselves. To achieve these goals just two rules to follow inside my classroom:

1-PARTICIPATE!!!
2-TO TALK PROPERLY, YOU WILL MAKE MISTAKES. You are not going to be penalized for talking incorrectly however you will be if you do not try your best.

I promise you all that this academic course will be an amazing adventure!!!


BFN!!!
