Hello Vanesa,
ReplyDeleteI have been looking your blog and is really interesting. You have a lot of resources very usefull for English classes. This one, I really like it because I think is useful not only for working in schools but also for holidays if you are camping with kids. As you said, you can learn English at home as well and that is fantastic!!
Perfect job!!

As teacher, I think is very important because the blog help us to get material very complete an educational. Your schemes about the description of the activity (level, objectives, age and so on) is very significant and vital for understanding the main objective of the exercise.
On the other hand, wisely you have designed with a good criteria. It is beautifully illustrated. Besides your blog works very well, it's very easy and helpful.
Thanks for such a good job.

Vanessa I really enjoyed your blog. I think that kids will find it easy and fun, learning as they play. Isn't that what teachers want? The activities are well planned and easy to understand. This is a good way to see their progress and it can also fill in their free time. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Vanesa! I really like all your blog! I think you are going to be a good teacher!
ReplyDeleteI like the three steps of your tasks. It important to do different activities to provide students diferent ways to learn. Also, though repetition kids learn the language.
Maybe I would present the first part with the computer or with something creative. I like the second part very much, and also the third one.
Thanks for sharing!
