SESSION 2: LET'S DISCOVER CAMPINS THROUGH ENGLISH LANGUAGE!

Hi!!

Let's discover more details about a new session... To do it, just read the following lines and enjoy it!

I began this morning with high levels of energy and illusion to present another session of this educational intervention. I arrived some minutes before in order to prepare the materials needed for this activity. Once everybody was ready, I announced that they were bound to start a new adventure with me and collaboration was needed to reach our final aim: to elaborate a mural in turn to check what they have learnt about the different parts of Campins.

After watching a Power Point in which I showed relevant facts about this village (for instance, number of inhabitants, representative buildings, main festivities…), I indicated the steps they should have followed for completing a cardboard in groups about one building they liked to work on it. I then gave sets of materials (e.g. a list of words and images to verify and cut, decorated paper to create the title) to each group to start the elaboration of the mural.

In conclusion, I now feel totally glad because they enjoyed the activity since the first minutes. At the same level, I noticed that they added the ingredients of fulfilment and joy to complete the whole task and put the final posters on a corridor’s wall next to the room. What’s more, I would like to stress out a quote from Frank Smith, a contemporary psycholinguist, because it represents very well the essence of today’s session for the innate spirit they show for learning English: One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way. 

I would like to close this entry with some photographs and a video that summarize very well how they looked so curious to progress and get their final posters!

Here below you can get familiarized with the Power Point developed at class. Have a good reading time too!
