Sixth Journal

In fifth grade, this week the session focused on learning about Colombian culture. Students watched some videos and pictures to understand better the aspects of the country such as music, sports, etc. Also, they expressed what they think were the cultural aspects of the country. The objective of my lesson plan was that students make a presentation about the cultural aspects of our country (Colombia), and write short sentences about the aspects of our country. However, these objectives were partially accomplished because there were not time to teach the structure to create the sentences.

What I would change from this lesson would be some attractive activities where students could show the Colombian culture through dancing, cooking, art, and craft. Because the time was not enough to do that.

This week, the lessons in third grade focused on learning the different meats since they are part of the food the students usually eat. So the objective of this lesson was that students recognized the different meats when looking at pictures of them, pronounced and wrote the different meats correctly. The activities I planned were showing pictures of the different meats while I pronounced them. Students repeated the vocabulary. Then, I showed the pictures again and students had to remember their names.

Then, they had to make a chart in their notebook, y draw some meats. This activity was really enjoyable since students from third-grade love drawing and coloring. However, I think I could change this session by making more interesting activities such as games.
