Please blog more!

The program has been in progress for more than two weeks.

By this time you should have already completed at least four posts. However, last week you did not blog at all.

Remember that the reflective blog is part of your final grade. There is no way to get a full score, but you can still do well if you begin soon.

Backward Design Model

When I think about planning my classes I have to be sure that my students are going to get the learning or the information that I prepared, but the reality is that I don´t know how to do it funny and meaninful for them.

With the Design Model I could have clearly objectives, assessments and activities, because when I make my plans I don´t know how to start or how can end a session and I only focus in one skills or I don´t pay much attention in the different kind of students that I have.

It´s important for me to follow a rule for making my plans so it could be great if the Design Model can help me to get my goal.

Arriving to Arkansas

One of the most magical experience for me is travelling to a different country or to a place where I have never been.

For me this is one of the most important advantage that an Eglish teacher can have, because as a Mexican teacher we don´t have a lot of opportunities to travel abroad for getting more experience and also I don´t have a lot of activities and strategies to do with my students.

I think that I was worry more in paper work than in preparing my classes or in making my students learning the language, so I  hope that this opportunity that I have studying in the University could be as good for my students as for my students.
