The Four Magic Teachers

This presentation took place on 13th February.
Ana Escribano's reflection:

This group used prezi to show their presentation and a video made with powtoon to explain their team plan, which I thought it was a good idea to add dynamism and be different from the rest.

Before getting into their project, they enumerated and briefly explained the cooperative learning techniques and the types of groups that exist, in my opinion it was a little redundant and they could have just described in detail those that they had chosen to do. In the beginning I did not know if they were talking about techniques they had used or not, so it was a little confusing for me.

The subject they chose is Spanish Language, specifically the types of words. To make the lessons more enjoyable, they used videos which explained each word’s category. The videos did not add anything that the teacher could not have said; I think that we have to make an effort to incorporate exercises that encourage reflection in grammar, so that the children can reach their own conclusions.

As the final activity, the gymkhana was interesting because the students could experience the grammar learning process, which is usually thought as monotonous and boring, in a different way and realize that they can also learn from playing.
