Don’t break the chain! Environmental project by 5th grade

To περιβαλλοντικό μας πρόγραμμα , μια τρίμηνη περιπλάνηση σε δάση και πέλαγα ολοκληρώθηκε! Εδώ μπορείτε να δείτε τις δραστηριότητες ,στα ελληνικά και τα αγγλικά,που μας βοήθησαν να ανακαλύψουμε πολλά για τα 6 ζώα υπό εξαφάνιση που ζουν στη χώρα μας!Επίσης μας προβλημάτισε η σχέση του ανθρώπου με τα ζώα και το γεγονός οτι η ανθρώπινη επέμβαση στο φυσικό περιβάλλον αποτελεί τη μεγαλύτερη απειλή για την επιβίωση των ζώων αυτών.

Mέσα στη παρουσίαση θα δείτε, μεταξύ άλλων, και τα links που οδηγούν σε έξι ψηφιακά βιβλιαράκια γραμμένα στα αγγλικά και εικονογραφημένα απο τους μαθητές της Ε1 τάξης του σχολείου μας!

Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την κυρία Έλενα Χριστοπούλου,Δασκάλα της Ε1 τάξης για την ενθουσιώδη δουλειά της, το υπέροχο θεατρικό της και την άψογη συνεργασία της μαζί μου προκειμένου να δημιουργήσουμε αυτή την εξαιρετική εκπαιδευτική εμπειρία για τους μαθητές μας.

How can I get to…..? (Asking and giving directions)

Last year ,while I was working on a seminar by Mrs Marianthi Kotadaki on Reflective Teaching , I created  an Action Plan for Unit 3 -Lesson 2 -Asking and Giving Directions , which had always been a headache for me since the material offered in the school coursebook was rather difficult for my students to deal with! So I had to reflect on an Action Plan that would motivate my students ,help them assimilate the relative vocabulary and finally enable them to produce a set of directions (oral and written). The results last year were more than satisfying ,so with a few adjustments I implemented this action plan this year too.I really enjoyed it once again so I thought of sharing it with you.

You can find all the details,comments and material used in the following link:  https://penzu.com/p/9e4ec35c

Below you can see some of my students’ final products this year! It was quite difficult for them to design a small map with the route from their school to their house, so we discussed some of their mistakes but I thought it would be better not to use… my red pen on their final project. IMG_20170309_094413IMG_20170309_090745IMG_20170309_090720IMG_20170309_090703IMG_20170309_090714IMG_20170309_090657IMG_20170307_133300IMG_20170307_133255IMG_20170307_133251IMG_20170307_133237

My “smart cookies”- Food idioms

Exploring food idioms , in Unit 2 with my 6th grade students,turned out to be an enjoyable experience.First we did some research on the Internet on food idioms and the meaning they convey.Then the students watched a power point presentation on the same subject and did a matching activity on the most common food idioms.

During the process we had the chance to compare and contrast the english food idoms with  the greek ones.We found differences (as cool as a cucumber) and similarities (butterfinger) and decided to decorate our class with some of them.

It was quite funny and my students had the chance to view food words from a totally different perspective, using the language to tease each other.

Exchanging e-mails

Most of our students are usually reluctant when it comes to writing. Reflecting on that problem I thought that writing should most of the times be connected to real life tasks and have a specific purpose. So when I had to teach my 5th graders how to write an e-mail (Unit 1) I thought that it would be a nice idea to use their parents’ e-mail addresses and actually send me an e-mail.
First we talked about the format of an e-mail and showed them the basic technical details using my e-mail. Then I asked them to write to me about their free time activities using the grammar taught in Unit 1(that is the verbs like ,enjoy ,love, prefer,hate ,dislike +verb+-ing),in order to express their likes and dislikes. Next I gave them my e-mail address and a week’s deadline to send me their e-mails. Each student received a different answer depending on the content of their e-mail. I also explained that the words or phrase written in red colour in my replies would mean that they had used these words or phrases in the wrong way in their e-mails. That was my way of correcting their homework and highlighting their mistakes.In addition correcting their “homework in disguise” as I call it from my home ,in my own time ,was quite convenient for me too.
The majority of my students ,even those who are usually unwilling to bring me their homework, participated in the activity. They were enthousiastic about communicating with me personally and they were looking forward to receiving my reply. Most of them had never sent an e-mail before, so this was a brand new experience for them, that motivated them to write and use the FL for a specific purpose. Finally, my students asked me if they could use my e-mail some other time to ask me any questions concerning our lesson and I gladly accepted.
Below you can read some of my students’ e-mails and my replies to them.

a.)Dear Mrs Mary

I’m sending you this e-mail to tell you about my freetime activities.
How are you?

In my free time I do many things but I have favourites and some activities which I don’t like.In my freetime I play with my friends and we do many things. I love playing basketball in my rim ,I prefer playing table tennis to biliards.I enjoy doing trick shots and videos with my friends for bottle fliping.
The activities which I dont’ like doing are few : I dislike help with the housework,I hate climbing and I dont’ like sailing.
That’s all.What about you?What do you like doing in your free time?

THOMAS

Dear Tommy,
I was happy to receive your e-mail and see that you have a lot of interesting hobbies!In fact some of them I knew nothing about like bottle flipping!I also don’t understand the trick shots! What exactly is that?
I agree that most children dislike helping with the housework! Unfortunately I dislike doing the housework as well, but I don’t have a choice you see! I’m the mum!
Anyway,when I find some free time I enjoy going out with my friends and family! I also prefer surfing on the Internet to watching T.V and relaxing on my couch watching movies!
Well that’s all for now! See you at school!
Mrs Mary

I write water bottle flip trick shots. TRICK SHOTS means when you do something difficult with tricks and you do it very very good .

THOMAS

Thank you Thomas for letting me know! Maybe you can teach me some of your tricks! or play with you and your friends sometime in the future!
Bye!

 

 

b.)Dear Mrs Maria,

I’m sending you this e-mail to tell you about free times activities.

At the weekends,I love playing football in Amaliadas sports centre.I enjoy playing bottle flipping with my friends Thomas and Jim in the afternoon.I prefer reading subjects English to reading subjects France.I hate climbing because I’m scare the heights.

See you tomorrow.

Goodnight

George

Dear George ,
thank you for sending me your e-mail.I see that you have a lot of things that you like doing with your friends!
I also have some free time only at weekends because during the week I am very busy!
My son unlike you (αντιθετα με σενα) prefers studying French to English! I love listening to people speaking French!
I don’t like climbing too for two reasons! I’m afraid of heights like you and it’s quite tiring for me! I enjoy relaxing at home or going out with my friends and family!
That’s all for now! I have to answer some more e- mails!
See you tomorrow!
Mrs Mary
