READING

We had Dania, Sara, Ligia, Karen and Bonifacio with the travel blogs topic.

They started the class by making two groups in order for them to put on the board a word so they could organize it. the letter was carried for the students while they tried to keep the balance with a glass that was placed on their hands.

The next part consisted with the teacher selecting a keyword, so they can put it on the glass. with the group splitted into two they draw a word on the word on the board that the teacher told them, so they could guess.

Teachers gave students a reading about Rachel's 4 weeks in south america, the read it first by their own and second out loud with a partner. with the board divide in 4 sections students wrote the things they remembered from the reading. they picked pairs and then make questions about reading so the teacher could prove if the text was understood.

After that the teacher placed 4 flags of different countries on the board so the students could work in pairs to choose words or phrases to put them on the correct flag. the words of the phrases were related with the reading.

Finally they had some music. hats were given so they could pass them, when the music stopped the one that has the hat should ask a question ...  which country from the ones mentioned before would you like to visit and why?
