Summary: class 16th July
ResponderEliminarWe start the class with the hotel game, but the whole class was dedicated to talk about feminine and masculine stereotypes.
The first activity consisted in talking in groups of four about games who boys and girls usually play and also about our personal experience. We did this activity with the help of some drawings where boys and girls played games that are not fitting to their genre according to society and tradition.
After, we continue in pairs talking about the differences between men's brain and women's brain, specially about the biological differences.
The first part of the class was a little short because Javi had to present his presentation, so we spent the last minutes in pay attention to Javi whose presentation was about "Breaking news" and true and false news.
In the second part, after the break, we worked with a video about "Difference between Men's Brains and Women's Brains" where a american comedian explained these differences in a funny way. Then, we did the activities and answered the questions.
Finally, to finish the class we did another exercise. As we were students of Spanish language, we had to guess reasons to justify if the word "computer" belongs to masculine or feminine genre... and the reasons were very funny!!
See you this afternoon
Sorry for my mistakes
