Learn through stories - Lourdes exposition

TEACH CHILDREN TROUGHT STORIES

Hello

I am writing now because I want to express that I am really like Lourdes' exposition, It likes to me because she taught us a new way to teach English to children, this way is not the traditional way, this is a way with much fun and estudent's participation. She taught us that all our classes have to have TRANSITION SONGS why? Because trought these songs student's know what they have to do and is not necessary to say them what they have to do because he music say to them that. Another thing that seems interesting to me was that we have to use favorite student's animal or color to make a group, to present a story we can use maybe a bear who is part of the story to arouse student's interest.

Finally is to important our personality in class, because if we as a teacher look bored in class the student could feel bored in class,  but if we look happy with lot of energy the student will be interested during our class.

COOPERATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING

There are very few differences between cooperative and collaborative learning, but is neccessary to know which approach help us to obtain the purpose and the final goals in a lesson.

Collaborative learning: Is a method of teaching and learning where  students  works together to explore a question, they discuss together and have a conclution. Those student may be from the same or different schools, but they share opinions to conclude with a best information.

EXAMPLE:

In this picture they are discussing  and sharing opinions.

Cooperative learning; In this method all the work is focus on the workshop, the students work in diferent small groups, they separate the work  and in the last part they join the work. In this method the don't work together instead of it they separated the work depend of their skills.

EXAMPLE:

In this picture they have separated the work in small groups depend of their habilities.
