Class of 18/02/2013

Hello everyone,

During our last class, the teacher gave to each group, the class with which they will have to work for. Our class is a CM2 class, whose level of english is not so elevated. Thus, during our last lesson, we wrote our story and began to work on the worksheet.

Concerning the language part, the vocabulary that we had to use in our story is extremely limited as the level of the children is extremely limited too. Personally, I found this exercice quite difficult as our semantic field was really limited to some typical verbs and themes such as animals. We had to have some limits over the vocabulary and also the sentences had to be very "formal": subject + verbs + complement.

On the other hand, the work on pedagogy and the aspect of teaching was really interesting. We really had to imagine the capacity of the children at the age of ten approximatively. Perhaps we were asking ourself too much questions on their ability. Will they understant the term "let's" in "let's play". If we wanted the children to understand it, in fact, we have to pronounce it a certain way.

For the technology, we didn't realy think of it. Meanwhile, we thought about the final production, we thought that the idea of drawing the story by hand will be a good idea.

We were suppose to see each other during the holidays (on friday) to finish the story. But holidays made it harder, and also the other exams that we have during the following week. Thus, Alexia has finished writing the few lines of the story, and we all worked on the worksheet and gathered our idea on facebook and edmodo. Thus, our worksheet idea is ready and we tried to use each one's ideas. And I decided that I will do the drawings for the final production, I've been personally working on that.
