STORYJUMPER " I CHOOSE HAPPINESS "


https://www.storyjumper.com/book/read/80108735

Hi!

As my students are really young, I have created a story to work in class “ I CHOOSE HAPPINESS”. It is based on the importance of making new friends and how to do it. The idea is to help my students understand that friendship is essential in our lives and we mustn’t exclude anyone.

Before showing the story, I ask my students how they make friends and if they find it difficult. After listening their answers, I start with the story.

At the end of the story, there are two main questions to answer orally: Do you like meeting new people? What do you do to make new friends? 

The idea is to make my students reflect on the importance of friendship and that must respect others. After talking about it, I organize my students in groups of four and I give a card to each group. In it, they can read a quote about friendship.

Each group must reflect on its card and draw a picture about it. Then, I am going to create a book with Storyjumper, where I include their images and quotes.  

After creating the book, I show it in class and one by one, each group has to explain its quote and the reason why they have done that image. 

At the end, each student gives his opinion about the work the others have done, promoting Co-evaluation. 

Storyjumper has helped me to do the activity more interesting as in the end, my students are going to have an online book that they can share with all the people they want. This makes the activity much more relevant and interesting. 

In addition, I think that this web helps students to develop creativity and imagination, as they have the opportunity of doingwhat they want and in different ways.

Bye!

Carmen

EDPUZZLE ACTIVITY " STEVE AND MAGGIE "

Hello, here you can find the video I have modified to work it on the first cycle of Primary Education. https://edpuzzle.com/media/5e62307a6198cf4121ada33e I have chosen this video because I am working on body parts and I think they would find it enjoyable and motivating. I love Steve and Maggie and my kids love them too. I know they like this kind of activities because they imply their participation and they can watch the video at home and share it with their families, something that they really love doing. Of course, next time I am going to look for videos that have more content and give me the opportunity of creating different types of activities and writing different notes. With this activity, my students: - Use authentic materials, as they can watch the video on the computer or the iPad, becoming an interactive activity. - Reinforce the content we work in the class, acting as a post activity. - Work on "body parts", a topic they love as it implies

REFLECT OF READING HABITS

Hello! These are the answers for the  Activity 2.2 What kind of books or texts are the people reading?  Did they chose the books themselves or did someone else choose for them?  My parents used to read to me when I was a child and as a result, I love reading. I read before sleeping every day because it helps me to relax and disconnect.  I think that reading for pleasure is one of the best ways to learn a language. It teaches you new vocabulary in an indirect way and in a positive atmosphere. I have never seen reading as a complex or annoying task but of course, nowadays I enjoy reading more as before because I know what I like and nobody says what should I read. Generally, at school, children read books that teachers have chosen before. As a consequence, I think that many students don’t find pleasure on reading, because maybe they are not related to their preferences. People, who love reading, choose a book for many reasons, but people who suddenly decide read a book is because
