The project
to develop on March was a poster where students had to introduce two people
from the country they were assigned to research. Since they are true beginners,
the information requested by the teacher were country, nationality, name, age
and occupation. The topic was introduced
through a video with three examples (people from around the world introducing
themselves and providing personal information).
The first
part of the project was to research the flags of the country and traditional
costumes for male and female. So I brought to the class a list of countries and
nationalities, students were in charge of checking the list, dictionaries and
their books in order to get the information to complete the task. Once the pairs had the information they
started to draw the flags and people wearing traditional clothing.
The second
part was to write a draft on how they were going to introduce these people in
the target language. Once they had this, teacher was in charge of checking the
writing task. They were motivated to do this because they love to draw and
color. Many of my students needed extra help in order to achieve this task.
Finally,
after I have checked the written part of the task, students transferred this
information to their posters and finished. Then students took some time to
observe other classmates work. The final evaluation was the speaking task,
which was the presentation of the poster in pairs; each member introduced a character.
I must say
that this task took more than time than planned, it was supposed to complete it
in a week, but it took them two weeks.
Skills covered: Reading(specific information), writing and speaking. Also listening during the introduction of the topic.
