Teaching Through Drama

This is a very useful strategy for teachers, and more for us, who are future teachers. There are differents games by which you can help students with their learning and at the same time have a pleasant and interactive time.

Here they are some, like:

• Improvisation
• Role Play
• Costume
• Props
• Freeze Frame
• Puppets
• Slow Motion
• Thought Tracking
• Sound Tracking
• Paired Conversation
• Magic Carpet
• Mirroring
• Miming
• Hot Seating
• Modelling
• Role on the Wall
• Conscience Alley
• Performance

After reviewing each one in a deeper way, the teacher distributed eight of these games in eight different groups, which are in charge of making an exhibition on x theme using the game that corresponded to him.

I'm with Cristian and Nicolas, and we correspond to Role on the wall, wish luck!. :D

Expo's day (#2)

Today the expositions about the pages finished. And here i'm going to give you all the pages (some are apps) where you can learn, practice, study, and play about diferent topics in many funny and interactive ways. There are six in total. This is really important to the autonomous process and you must highlight it.

Today class still continues with the theme of "learning techniques". So, in this entry I will mention different aspects that I consider important in this regard. I hope you can consider useful

Tips: 

-Don’t study after 11.00p.m.

-Divide time equally between subjects.

-Put a copy somewhere to keep parents informed.

-Revise your study timetable/things change.

-Stick to it. 

-Organising subject matter efficiently.

-Getting ongoing day to day work and assignments done.

-Researching and revising work for exams.

-Record your plan of attack for each session.

-Practise skills learned by doing problems, exercises and essays.

-Aim to build a clear understanding by connecting areas of knowledge.

-These sessions are the backbone of your Study Programme.

Three Study Techniques

Acronymic Sentences

Use the first letter from words that you need to remember later, and make a sentences with them.

Ex: The days of the week

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

      :Sarah makes tea when things feel sad.

Using Acronyms

Is a good method for remembering things an any order.

T,S,O,I,P,C → TOPICS, TIPCOS, PICOTS, COPITS.

Using Pegwords

# word                     Pegword

one                                x

two                           through

three                        tree

four                          door

Study Techniques

Today we learn about study techniques. These are very important, the students who follow these methods learn more easily, retain material for longer periods of time.

The teacher explain to us some study techniques like:

-Play attention to the class in order to understand the topics complete.

-Take notes to remember ideas in class.

-Always be organize. 

-Ask questions in you don't have clear idea.

-Plan a study time everyday.

Here is a chart about which learning techniques works by CFA.

I hope this can be usefull for your study times.

After... my classmates Luisa and Annie shows to us a page/app named Duolingo, it's very usefull and fun, here is the link to the app, and here is the link to the page.

that's all for this entry.
