BullyinG




On the same class, Claudio Barriga, Pedro Perez and Fabián Verasray, talked about bullying (my next topic). They talked about psychological effects ,and at the end, they showed a video were students hit each other like a “funny game”
In general, It was a very clearly performance but a little messy in some slides. The guys looked very confident and it was noticed that they knew about the topic.

Teacher’s Personality.


On this class , My classmate Dreny Belmar,Nicole Mundaca y Katherine Gonzalez, talked about teacher’s personality.
This topic was related to witch competence teachers should have for a good climate in the classroom on the development of a lesson.
The presentation was very nice in general, but I think that was a lot of TTT, and sometimes I felt that they were nervious (things happens). The ppt was a little untidy, but at the same time they had a good use of the space in the classroom.
On the presentation, girls showed us a video about a boy who had lost his interest on learning. The teacher noticed an strange behaviour change, and then she realized that the little boy had lost his mother, and obviously, the latest thing that he wanted, was to study.
When she noticed all that, she became more than an instructor, due to this she became a great teacher, who helped to raise this little child.
That story help me to think again that teachers have to be more than an employer of a school. They have to be engaged with the first principle of education, educate people for people.
That's why, in my opinion the first root of teacher’s personality is to have the desire of teaching.

LiFe.....


On this lesson we watched an interesting video about the world.
It was a little religious for me. It remembered me Sodom and Gomorrah’s story.
The video showed someone who was creating a world, and step by step
gave to this world, animals, people, nature and LIBERTY.
When this world had liberty, bad used, started the problems.
Fear, egocentrisms, money, and chaos.
In that moment, the creator decided to disappear the world,
Because he doesn’t liked in that way.
do you recognize the story?






He created the world like others of his collection.
What is liberty for? if he managed the end anyway.

Classroom Management




Today started the presentation of different themes related with linguistics competences.
The first group was Classroom management. The group was composed by, Rodrigo Ortiz, Eduardo Aveldaño and Diego Escudero.
They taught us the teacher’s physical presence in class; the Proximity, Appropriacy Movement and Contact. Also they talked about What’s the best seating arrangement for a class?. They showed the Orderly Rows, Circles and Horseshoes, Separate tables
I think boys looked very self-confident. As a whole, was a good presentation, a little bit longer than as well, but in general was easy to understand. One of the little mistakes was the clothes (I’m a girl who looks that details), they were dressed very different. One was with a suit whit tie and everything, the other was dressed like semi-formal way, and the last one was dressed very informal; with t-shirt. That for me was a point lest.

FaceBook....

I did not know so much about facebook until Mr. Litman's class.As a good student should do (at least at the beginning of the year), I made my own facebook. And it was a surprise... Many of my friends are on it!But despite of that, I was asking myself, what is facebook?
And doing my research I found out that Facebook is an online social networking website.
Facebook is also currently available in six languages: English, French,Spanish, German, Portuguese and Dutch.Members in facebook can create their own web pages, extend their social network, publish their music playlists, share videos, post blogs, join groups called 'clans' and much more. Facebook claims to attract over 150,000 new members per day.... :0And now I am one of these 150,000 members of it... Even my primary school classmates are my "friends"..And I should say ... I love that uninterested test like.. what 80'song are you? or what tipe of heart do you have?
I think this is a very interesting theme... other of internet's marvels.
