SESSION 9: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT CAMPINS?

Hey again!!

It smells like our project is near to be finished... and as we don't want to, we will maintain this Blog alive forever and ever in our both hearts/minds and, for sure, this screen!!

It was time for a new Tuesday full of energy and emotion and they were ready to check their levels of understandings of this center of interest. I began one of my last sessions of the planned intervention with a final test. It was prepared to show what they have learnt from a written perspective. I adapted it among two levels for reaching an Education for All programme again and adapting them to their specific needs.

Now, once I corrected them, I am so glad to verify that they achieved concepts about the village of Campins and its surroundings with precision, either in terms of spelling, grammar or mental acquisition. This makes me feel proud of them because they were the main protagonists and the whole process noticed that it worked as better as planned at the beginning.

As a future teacher, I prefer to measure their process behind a more qualitative perspective in which each phase of the centre of interest and different activities also counted for what they learned from each session. It is important to point out that we should learn to evaluate by competences, and not only by a numeric mark because each ingredient of the final result counts a bit more.

From this perspective, I considered fundamental to express orally their opinions and impressions about the project in a free way. It does signify that everyone wanted to tell us his feelings and the main preferred activities of it. Fortunately, I am so satisified to announce that they transmitted lots of things, like the following phrases: I loved it because we could live these adventures all together as a team. / I think each activity was funny for something. / Thanks for sharing your English and your love for teaching…

Look at them and see how much concentrated they all were!! It does mean something... 

Just a little summary of some words that they expressed during the oral brainstorming...

To end up this magical session, I opted to record that moment with a photograph in front of the screen projecting another photo we took on another day... lots of emotions that come to mind right now! 

Enjoy it and see you soon!
