“OUR VILLAGE -FRAILES”

OUR VILLAGE-FRAILES GENIAL.LY

Along with the e-Twinning program we are carrying out in our school, we are going to show our Polish friends how is our village and encourage them to come and visit it .

The plan of this project is presented as follows:

• FIRST STEP:

We need to contextualize the situation to the students and make them aware of the task we need to carry out and how we are going to develop it. We will present vocabulary related to the city, but not of every city but our. We will walk around our village in order to see which shops are and if we now the vocabulary of them.

Also it is necessary to design a map in order to put all the important places to be located.

• SECOND STEP

Introduce the grammar structures will be used, in this case we will need present simple and past simple (in order to talk and teach something about our village’s history).We will develop the map by which the directions and imperative form will be practiced.

• THIRD STEP

By groups of 4 we will develop a research about the most important and interesting places in Frailes. Once we have all the information, we will develop a draft about all the information that we will introduce in our presentation.

• FOURTH STEP

Using our weekly ICT lesson we will develop through the time our presentation based on the draft we have made in our notebook but also in the information we have found on Internet.

• FIFTH STEP

Before uploading our presentation to Twinspace, we will see them in the classroom and give feedback to the groups in order to encourage them to improve their job and to congratulate them for the effort they have made.

COMMENT ON HOW DECISIONS WERE TAKEN AS TO THE GROUPING OF STUDENTS AND TIMINGS OF THE PROJECT.

The project will be developed by groups of 4 ,in this case all the labor of research, writing and creating the presentation will be divided .Also they will learn how to take decisions and deal with the possible disagreement that can appear along the process.

A SAMPLE OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU USED (HANDOUTS, PROJECT PLANNERS ETC.)

We will use leaflet that we will take from the Town Hall, maps of the village, worksheets, schedules but also information from the tourism information and from Internet.

LASTLY, DO NOT FORGET TO REFLECT ON HOW THE USE OF THE TOOL HAS OPTIMIZED YOUR STUDENTS’ LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND HAS HELPED YOU ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES. WOULD YOU CHANGE ANYTHING.

The project was very engaging for the students, they felt comfortable about the task because they were talk about something that they really know. 

In this case, it was difficult because the students do not feel confident to talk in public or ask about leaflet or information in places such as Town Hall or Tourist Information Point. Also the use of grammar structures such as past simple make them feel frustrated because of the verbs. They do not find a lot of information about their village so that make it even more difficult for them but also give more context to the realization of the task.
