Hi there!! Pupils in year 5 have created small pieces of "English in Action". Using a real situation they wrote short dialogues which they learnt and then played. THEY are great actresses and actors!! Take a look at the results
I proposed pupils in year 6 to do a short film by groups of six or seven. And they accepted the challenge. We watched some examples of previous years films recorded by former pupils and some others good ones that we found in the Internet.
Here you've got them reading some information about films
Thinking on the content and looking for a title
Writing the script
And after working on the pronunciation and doing the general rehearsal the SHORTS...
During this term pupils in year 6 are taking part in the programme Reading in Pair. We implemented
it 3 year ago, after we were trained by the "Grup de Recerca de Aprenentatge entre iguals" in UAB.
It is an educational programme for improving reading comprehension skills. It is based on peer tutoring, both at school –between pairs of pupils- and, if possible, at home, with a family member.
This is the process:
1st.- The tutor takes the reading home and prepares it during the week.
2nd.- Tutor and tutee sit drown together. The tutor asks the questions in the "before reading" section.
3rd.- The tutor reads.
4th.- The tutor and the tutee read together.
5th.- the tutee reads and the tutor corrects (PPP technique)
6th.- They do the reading comprehension section.
7th.- The groups that finish do the extra activities.
8th.- They evaluate each other.
9th.- If they have agreed so, the tutor gives a little prize to the tutee.
10th.- The teacher gives the new reading to the tutee, who now becomes a tutor, for preparing it during the next week
