THE LOVE POETRY BOOK

Hello again partners! 

I want to share with you my poetry book because it was an activity which I like so much and I am very glad with the results. at the beginning  it was a little difficult for me because the idea of make a poem in English scare me a lot, but it was really enriching when I was able to do that!


First I had to look for the pictures and the authors, there are a plenty of them. I was between two topic, one related to the urban style-life and love, and finally my decision was love.

Here I am going to show you my poetry book with some reflections about the different poems I hope you like it.




In this poetry book I tell you a love story through different poems. And now I am going to explain you these types of poems:















The first poem, LIST POEM is a poem in which describes o word picture with adjetives and others items.
Therefore in my list poem I talk about the good and bad things you can find when you fall in love.




















Second poem, HAIKU is a japanese lyric verse form having three unrhynmed lines of five, seven and five syllables traditionally invoking an aspect or nature or the seasons.
In this poem I want to reflect that is important for us to have someone at our side.





The third poem, RIDDLE POEM  is a type of poetry that describes something without actually naming what it is, leaving the reader to guess. A riddle is a light hearted type of poetry which involves the reader. Riddles can be about anything, from riddles about animals to riddles about objects. There are no rules on how to structure a riddle can be rhyme, it depends on the person writing the riddle.


Finally, LETTER POEM is a poem in form of a letter. In this, I write love and I express the desire to have it. 



Did you liked my poetry book? Do you think a good topic? About what topic did your poetry book?

ENJOY WITH THEATER IN CLASS






In the practice session with Raquel the other day, we were at the gym working with theatre methods. I want to summarize here some of these activities.


The first activity was amazing for me. We had to go to the stage and we had to tell our name and something that characterized us. All the class clapped us when we talk in the stage. I like so much this activity and in my opinion is a great tool for help children to improve their self-esteem and also to lose the shyness of speaking in public. 

It was a great starting activity!  




For the second activity, we had to move around the gym taking the role of something that we want and when the teacher say freeze all the classroom have to stay in the site and explain what we were doing. We had passed a good time while I developed this activity. Then we have to made a little dumb theatre in which we have to make an action and the following partner had to make this action and add some one more. In my opinion, this activity involves progession and it helps with memory because you have to remember previous actions.
When we finished each activity all the class talked about how can we adapts and scaffold these activities for children. Some of them were to monitorice more the activities and give students vocabulary scaffolding to helps them and to express and some pictures and images  to involve the topic to the children.




Another activity was that we had to make a conversation using the letters of the alphabet. For example...

ME: Analysing the activity i thing is a good idea...
MARÍA: Before that well, i know that...
ME: Congratulation María for your election.
MARÍA: Date, what date is today??
ME: Extraordinary date...
etc... 

Moreover, this activity is very motivating and I think that we need some scaffolding as put the letters of alphabet for the pupils can follow better the activity.

Here, you can see some videos relate with 
HOW TO TEACH SPEECH AND DRAMA TO CHILDREN.







Can you tell me other ways to use theater in class? Do you like this method? Are you going to use it?

TRADING CARDS




Few weeks ago, Raquel sent me to do my Trading Card.

In the first moment, my classmates and me did an activity related to the diferent characters appear in the movies.

Then we though about these characters because we put one character; for example (captain hook like a villanious).
Finally, she gaves to us a website in which we should do our trading cards.

This is the website:
http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/trading_cards_2/


When I started to do my character I though in something related to my village and it call " the witches town" in Spain. It is famous for this and other things too.
However I searched in internet about this and I found a Juana's story.
Therefore, I created a good witch her name Lia and I wanted to relate my story with a true story.

This is my Trading Card:










































































In my opinion, I think that this type of things are a good resource for the pupils because they have to develop their minds and it is very creative.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THIS LITERATURE ACTIVITY?
