Martínez Wilson – Olivares BelenPractice II Class description:

The students in this elementary class are between 11 and 12 years old. They are 25 students in each classroom (15 girls and 9 boys in 6to C – 16 girls and 10 boys in 6to D). The class starts at 15:45 in the afternoon, until 16:25 in one of the classrooms. Once the class finish, and after a ten minutes break, the second class starts at 16:35 until 17:15. Usually, students enter to the classroom very excited and noisy since they come from the break. After that it takes more or less 10 minutes to calm them down. Nevertheless, they work very hard and effectively when the activities are presented. One important aspect about this class is that, as they are very young and with a low level of English, they speak in Spanish all the time.

Materials:

Blackboard, students ‘notebooks, audio system, projector and computer.

Procedures

Warm up:

We will start our class introducing Ailie to the students. She will try to communicate with them in a very straightforward way so as to inspire confidence on the children and motivate their interest.

Activity 1

Primarily, we will display a video prepared by the teachers in which the productions of the students will appear describing Argentinians` daily routines. After this presentation, Ailie will show her video in order to make a comparison between routines in different countries.

Activity 2

Once the videos are presented, we will make a general debate about the main differences in activities carried out in both countries. The idea of the debate is to encourage students to interact with Ailie asking her questions about her culture.

Closure

In order to finish with the intercultural project, we are going to thank Ailie for her visit and we will give her a souvenir (a book with students` productions).
