WORDLE

 
Wordle is a useful web site where you can creat posters using the topic you want. This way, if you are teaching the adjectives, you can make an original poster and show it on class.

This is an example of a Wordle poster. You only have to write the words that you want to include in your poster or paste the link of the website where there are interesting vocabulary for your poster.

In order to creat my poster, I copied the link of this blog, and then I chose the colours, the font and more characteristics.

MY BEST TEACHERS

I have had many teachers throughout my life as a student. The teachers that I liked the most  were the ones who did not punish me for doing my homework wrong. They corrected me without making me feel bad about being wrong. Explain things in different ways and made ​​us participate in class. When participating in class I felt important and I think all my colleagues too. Class hours passed quickly and we all wanted to arrive the next day. 

What I liked is that teachers were friendly. Sometimes they were wrong in their explanations and made us realize that we should not be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes. They made us feel safe. 

Also, they explain things in a way that motivated us to learn more about the subject. I did not study under pressure therefore my grades in those subjects were high. 

In my future as a teacher I want my students to see me as I saw  those teachers.

Come in, please.

This blog is part of the subject “ Methodology for multilingual teaching and learning foreign languages”.

The main purpose of this blog is to share things related to education. There will be a mandatory publications imposed by the teacher and other ones which will be elective.
If students only post compulsory topics, they only have a 5 as a final note in this part of the subject.Therefore, if we want to get a 10. We will have to publish volunteer posts about education.

The first publication shall be compulsory and it will talk about who has been our best teacher and what made ​​him special.


Meanwhile, I am going to explain you a little bit about my experience as student since the nursery until secondary school.

I haven't got lots of memories about nursery, a good memory is not one of my best qualities. As good klutz that I am, I can only highlight the falls on the wheel in the courtyard and bits of songs that my poor memory can't let me remember them completly.


At the age of 3 I started to go to school.About this stage I remember the sand area where we played in the yard, the carnivals, the christmas preparations and the summer. About lessons, I remember that I couldn't remember the name of the tortoise when we studied the animals. I remember the raising of silkworms. I remember the taste of glue. And I remember the teacher telling me that I had to be sitted looking at the board and not looking at the window.

About primary school I remember the tours, the first punishments, the playground time and maths lessons and english lessons, which were the most boring hours of the week.
It could be because I didn't understand nothing in both subjects. Imagine a chinese talking to you during three hours a day all the week. Then, imagine that the chinese start to ask you lots of questions about what he has said and punish you if you don't know the answer. It is so hard.

In secondary school there were many changes. I reconciled with English, stop to talk with maths lifetime and I had new enemies like physics and chemistry. As is expected, what I remember most about secondary school are the funny anecdotes with the schoolmates at class, the break time, the trips... Furthermore, the friendships I made during those years still being so important for me and I still having it.

That's all! Next time, I'll talk about my best teacher and my relation with the English subject .
