Hi Group
I hope you enjoyed your first class. We did 2 "ice-breaker" activities to get to know each other, talked a bit about cities,
Our book is Advanced Outcomes, which you can buy in the bookstores of "Fliología A" and "Geografia y Historía."
We did p.8 and activities A and B of the Listening on p.9. Homework is to do the right column of p.9. Also, please print and complete the Learning Questionnaire Click here to give to me next Friday.
Mónica has promised to write a summary with more details in "Comments." Have a good week! Kate
Hi everybody
ResponderEliminarLast Friday, we had our first CSIM English class in the strange building of “Estudios Estadísticos”, in LAB 3B. As Kate says, we did some “ice-breaker” activities, but before that, she used what was written on the blackboard to make us talk and break the typical big first-class-day silence. Some of the things we could see there were written down were “greetings, asking for examples, showing surprise, asking for reasons, showing interest, give reasons…” She asked all of us to suggest different ways to do all that. After that, we made a Listening and Comprehension exercise: we could hear 4 different little interviews and we had to take note of the name of the person, why they had that name, if they liked it or not and why, and if they wanted to change it. After checking the answers, Kate gave everybody a sheet with some “knowing each other” questions, which were also related to cities. Here we started with “ice-breaker” activities by asking the person sited next to us (and then, to other two people in the class) 5 questions: 2 questions we heard on the tape in the listening and 3 questions from the sheet. After that, we introduced to the rest of the class the people we spoke with, and finally we all had a name: Alejandro, Esther, Miguel, Miguel, Rocío, Alberto, Vic, Elena, Cristina, Alejandro, Carlos and me, Mónica.
We had a break of 15 minutes and at the return, we worked for the last hour in our book Advanced Outcomes. We did two exercises of adjectives about cities in groups, and finish with another little Listening. Finally, Kate told us our homework, remind us some things for next Friday (like bringing completed our card and the Learning Questionnaire) and told me to do this summary. Then, we say goodbye.
