Teaching Writing ✍🏼📔.

Imagen
 Hello! Welcome once again❤️. For today's entry, we will talk about something more theoretical compared to our last two entries, and that is...  Teaching Writing ✍🏼📔 . When we talk about writing skills, we are referring to a lot of different aspects such as spelling, punctuation, handwriting, sentence construction, paragraphing, text cohesion, and register or style. When teaching these writing skills, the role of the teacher is basically to be a monitor, resource, and feedback provider.  At the beginning of our class, teacher Orlando asked us to do some tracings and practice our different types of handwriting, which was really fun and it brought back memories of when I was a kid doing different tracings at school 😅 . As you can see, I was struggling a little bit with my cursive letter🥲, since I hadn't used it in so long😂. Writing in cursive has never been my favorite, but when it comes to my print writing I'm not so good either, it is very funny because I consid...

 Hello there, welcome once again to my blog! 👀 🌿 Today, I have a very fun entry for you, because this is all about Body Language & Coordination, and Improvisation 🎭🕺🏻. As the last entry, I don't have many things to explain, because we did a lot of exercises, but what better way than learning than by putting everything into practice? 😌 Last entry I mentioned that voice projection was very important, but having good body language is too☝🏼. It can make the student feel more confident around you according to your gestures or uncomfortable, so watch out!😬 We started the class by doing an exercise with our partners, I worked with María once again💖. We had to make each other laugh, and clearly, as you can see in the video, I hadn't done anything and María was already smiling😂. We also did some other things such as complimenting each other, walking looking straight at one point, and even walking around making sexy faces. Jonathan understood the assignment haha😂!   ...

 Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog!  😁 💖 This week we talked about Voice Projection 🗣️ , and had really fun and dynamic classes. You might be wondering, why voice projection? Well, let me tell you that this is very important if you plan to become a teacher because you will be doing a lot of talking with large groups, so you need to be able to transmit all your ideas in a clear way, basically, we need to learn how to use our voice as an instrument🤓. We started our class by watching some youtube videos that talked about how to manage our voices, and we were also asked to make space in the classroom because we were going to be moving around🫣. Then, we started doing a few exercises in pairs, I paired up with María which was a little bit difficult because that day she was sick and wasn't able to speak 😅 . So basically, I had to have a conversation with her while she replied with signs or gestures 😂 . We did different dynamics such as having a conversation while moving...
