Teaching Spots: Creating a poem

Ø  Class activity: to create a poem

·         ¿Qué queremos que el niño trabaje?

                 Por ejemplo; los sentidos, tanto lo real como lo irreal del sentido.

                 I see, I hear, I touch, I smell, I taste…

·         Se escriben palabras en la pizarra que los niños vayan diciendo aleatoriamente;

                Knights, dragons, rules, food, games, music, things…

·         Unimos uno de los  sentidos con una de las palabras;

I hear knights.

I smell dragons

I touch rules

I taste food

I see games

I touch music

I see things people don´t see…

Ø  We use a poem (written by one of us) for the following activity

First Day at University

This first day seems as yesterday

This first day of hopes and fears

I´m meeting new people, new friends,

new teachers, new places, new thoughts…

This first day that should change my life.

·         Después de una lectura correcta, de manera implícita vamos a hacer que nuestros alumnos mejoren su léxico haciendo preguntas sobre el poema.

a.       Is he/she a student?

b.      Is he/she a teacher?

c.       Who is he/she  meeting there?

d.      Is he/she sad? 

e.       Why do you think so?

f.        Is he/she happy?

g.       Why do you think so?

h.      Is it a new place for her/him?

i.         Has he/she been here before?
