VYL

Teaching very youg leraners is the most wonderful experience I have ever lived  because children are very active.
With VYL we can play games, to sing, to dance, and enjoy learning beacause that's the way they want to learn; moreover, you can do many activities which can imvolve them and make them participate, but if teachers are not entusiastic, pupils get bored, it means that you have to create the best emviroment in  your
 class.Remember that children learn by doing, so teachers have to bring to the class somo acitivities in which students have to move about it, this  will be easy becuase vyl do what heir teachers ask them to do, but we have to take into account that children get bored easily ,so teachers don't have to spend alot of time in the same activity. Teaching English very young learners is interesting, but you have love your pupils, and you will see that they will love you too.


 

PRESENTATIONS

I think that the presentations were amazing, wow i love expositions because we have leraned alot from each other, the presentations of my classmates have helped me alot in my teaching because I leraned new ideas to be a good teacher, and new games to play with my pupils, this kind of activities help us a lot to improve  our Englsh, at the same time we can show what we already know about teaching.
Last tuesday, we saw a movie with teacher Edgar, the movie was about a man who had a strange ilness ,but he was really intelligent, creative and entusiastic, he loved everything he did,but his teacher couldn't bear his actitudes, so he was always spelled from all his classes. Brad never gaves up and finally he got what he wanted which was "to be a teacher".

Questions about the movie:

Brad's character was always firm, he was optimistic and lovely.

 the way brad taught made them different from the rest because he was entusiactic and very creative ,he tried to make his students feel confortable and secure. There are many reasons why his teaching is great; first of all because he was vey patient and because he loved his pupils as him self.

Besides teaching, Brad teaches many values his students such as love, respect,friendliness , etc, and he said his students that they don't have to give up,so that they must fight for their dreams.

Bullyng and teasing : bullying is pervasive in our society. It occurs in school, in the workplace, and essentially wherever people gather or are in relationship. 

Bullying can take many forms and has been categorized in many ways:
  • physical aggression (e.g., pushing, tripping, spitting);
  • social alienation (e.g., excluding, coercing others to reject or exclude a person);
  • verbal aggression (e.g., name calling, taunting, teasing);
  • intimidation (e.g., threats, intimidating phone calls or text messages; coercing one to do things that they would not ordinarily do); an
  • relational bullying - bullying that damages relationships (e.g., gossiping, spreading rumours, making racial slurs)
The most common form of teasing is verbal bullying or taunting. This behavior is intended to distract, irritate, or annoy the recipient. Because it is hurtful, it is different from joking and is generally accompanied by some degree of social rejection.
I  could see this problem in the movie because Brad's teacher made him feel different from his classmates.

This video inspire me to be different, to try to do my best to fulfill my dreams.
what atracked me the most about the movie is the character of brad because he never payed really 
attention  to what people said about him.
This movie has many value lessons but the most important is that we shouldn't frustrate  if we have physical or mental problemas because the most important from us is not what we have in our body but what we have in our mind.

My experience as a teacher

Hi teacher this is yeni marisol cordova, I want to share  with you my experience as an English teacher,but i have to be sincere and you have to know that at first everything was failure beacause I thought that children were unberable,but when i started teaching them , i started loving them too, they changed my mind showing me that everything is possible. My pupils are very youngers, all of them are 5 years old, but they are vey intelligent, they repeat every single word I ask them and it makes me feel really happy and even entusiastic.They anxiously wait for me every single day I get to the school,because theywant to lern more and more from me.I don't know how to express this feelings ,but I just can tell you that I love mu pupils and a i am sure they love me too.


It is really surprising the way in which children are leraning.Each day I bring a new activity in order to involve them and make them participate, they really enjoy playing games with me. I try to be creative bringing some cards sontaining pictures related with the topic we are studying and  thanks to the lord I alwas get what I wanted.








My pupils alow me in each activity I do,paying special attention to the indications, in this way, they easily do what I asked them.
working in groups or in pairs has been one of the most complicated activities for me because they like to fight and don't supported each one, so I have had to work as a team.

 I am sure that i am have fallen in love with my pupils
we enjoy being together.


My pupils and I
