March 29th and April 5th - What is the time? - part 2

 5th grade - total of 4 classes on this topic 

I did not think it would be necessary so much time on the same subject. The point was not only related to the language, but also some life experience and world knowledge as for many kids was not clear how analog watches work and I wanted them to understand that. I wanted to transcend the linguistic part of the language and teach them something that they would learn for life and could apply on their daily life. Also, I would be proud of myself if I could make them understand it, as my class in 100% English. 



Thinking about that was what I planned, unfortunately on that day they were really excited. It was very difficult to get attention. I thought that maybe the topic was not interesting enough or my approach was boring. This lack of organization troubled me to organize myself better while explaining that every number corresponds to five minutes. And I become really fed up when I explain something and a student who were not paying attention ask me something that I had already said. I think that the only thing that was clear is that, using the words I said to them "the big arrow corresponds to minutes and the small arrow corresponds to hours".


At this first two months (from Feb 7th to April 25th), there are not standardized evaluations. Every English teacher decides with the pedagogue how to evaluate the students. So I decided to transform it into an evaluation, 10 points.

February 7th to 9th - getting to know everybody

Imagem
  Here in Mariana, for the kids classes we still do not have a book or brochure to use with our students. Last year we had, but in 2022 not yet. But even if we had, I do not think it would be ok to use it in the first week. So I watched some youtube videos to give me some ideas of games or songs to use in the first week, to get to know each other. As I was expected to have 23 different groups of kids, I decided to have the same class plan for all of them, making small changes according to age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prXvhy8hvFk The first two days and a half of classes were really good and they seem to receive my approach well. In almost all groups they asked me where I was from or if I was from Brazil. One of them thought I was from China. It is funny how the very young look at me around the corridors or the canteen, like I was an E.T. I am trying to keep this magic, so, every time I need to talk to another teacher (in Portuguese, of course) I do it in a very low voice...

May - Sports

Imagem
  4th grade I introduced the names of the sports in a previous class (the last 10 or 15 minutes), by playing hangman with them. So I used only cognates, not use any translation or explanation.  Then I prepared written material, with vocabulary and translation. The wordsearch was ok. It was easy for many students, but not so easy for a few of them, who do not yet know how to read lower case. This is one of the reasons that I always ask them to do written activities in pairs, so one can help each other (sometimes this help is like copying the other one’s answers). For exercise 2, they took more time to answer and they looked a little tired. Maybe I should have not done 19 items, but 12 or 14 max. For a 9 years old kid, it was too tiring. But I wanted to use the space I had on the paper, so I always use the max I can. Some students were really smart, and they knew that if they paid attention in a key letter, like the M in IGNROOMT, they would find MOTORING easily. But some of the...

Situations in which I spoke Portuguese

Imagem
First week, all groups. This story I already told here.  I had planned a drawing activity for all groups. For 1 st  and 2 nd  grade, I asked them to draw what they wanted to learn in English along the year. For the 3 rd , 4 th  and 5 th , what they remember from the former years. They had to draw the vocabulary they remember. Those are very difficult to explain only in English and gestures. So I typed this instruction in Portuguese on Google Translate and clicked on the sound symbol, so everybody could understand the activity. For the next classes, I will try to plan activities that I would not need something like that to make them understand me.  March 31st, 4th grade 3, a class about numbers. One of the students said "It is very easy. Don't you have something more difficult?". I did not answer anything and he was already annoying me, cause he left the classroom twice and was talking too much. Then he told me that he did not know how to say 21 (twenty one)...
