| Nice group! |
Hi, everybody!
Right yesterday we met for the first time. Our PE Workshop is already on! And I'm very happy because we've got our first report very soon. Carmen was volunteer in order to right down everything we talked about TPR methodology and many other things in this initial session. She did a very good job, by the way. Check it out! Take advantage of Carmen's effort and practice reading and writing (leave a comment).
Before reading her report though, let me remember the highlights of our next meeting:
DATE: February 24th (18:00-20:00)
PLACE: Escola Ave Maria de Penya-roja (Av. França, 3)
CONTENT: Developing different games in english (practical)
See you in three weeks!
Didac
Hi every body!
Last Wednesday, we had our first meeting
of the PE workshop. It took place en my school, Ave Maria de Penya-roja of
Valencia in the meeting room. There we met with Didac, five teachers and two more that joined us later.
First of all, Didac gave us two sheets with vocabulary and
basic expressions for our lessons. He explained the TPR metodology -a natural
method-. It is based on the coordination of language and physical movement. Later, Didac talked about the reason why teaching physical education in English and
he remarked that the English has come to stay. He gave us a lot of advices:
- Reading and writing to improve our English
- To talk very slowly
- Don't do all lessons in English: first lesson in valencià and the same lesson, next session, in English.
- In the English classes, don’t change to valencià if it's not completely needed.
After that, we watched a video -PE Didac class in English-. He was with primary 2n grade class. Pupils were playing a game called “Mice”. Finally, Didac encourage us to prepare a game for the next lesson. It will take place on February 24th. I’m looking forward to start with the practical lessons. I’m sure we will learn many things and it will be funny.
See you soon!
