lesson five

Date: August 18th, 2012

Members: Heinar Pineda, Josue Roque, Andres, Ronald

Topic: Clothes and accessories  (, socks, dress, pants, blouse, shorts, sweater, sunglasses, hat, cap, bracelet, necklace, tie)

The activities we liked the most and we think were the most efficient ones, were the one performed by Heinar called “Bingo” and the one by Andres which was about Ss taking the appropriate article of clothing  or accessory out of the basket in order to dress the teachers up. This activity really called the attention of students and made them laugh a lot, and we think that in that way it was more probable that students could internalize the article of clothing in English , because  they were not only in touch with real items of clothes and accessories, but also because they were able to see where we use that specific item in our bodies; we believe that by practicing with real items in real contexts Ss have the chance to learn more that only by showing them a picture or a drawing. 

Moreover,  The reason why the “Bingo” activity called our attention is , because during this activity Ss were crossing out the correct items in the bingo chart and that was a proof that the previous activities had really being efficient, because they could recognize the items in English. Finally,  It is very important to mention the fact that during  the activity about the “bingo” the teacher was not showing a drawing or something that represented the item he was saying, and even in that way,  Students  were able to perform it successfully, including Hector who mistook only  one item, and what we could learn from this lesson is that children can work in groups very well, they help each other and they enjoy it a lot.
