A Big day, showing our Final Project: Videos

“Editing videos is not easy”, that was the big conclusion from my students. Some of them were very good at editing, actually they had fun! Others, felt very frustrated. Fortunately, we did a very good job using Adobe Premier as the main program for editing videos. By the way, we got some help form Audiovisuals Students, they really know about it, so we learnt and improved our projects. We did more than 17 videos. They have different subjects like extreme sports, Zombie makeup, art & craft, dancing, cooking and so on. Each one of the students explained in front of everybody about his/her project, the subject, and the experience. We were so excited because we showed up those videos to our partners and we shared a delicious snack!

Great Experience! Thanks to everyone!

Pancakes for breakfast

The students of "Cooking" prepared yummy pancakes. Firs of all, they had to create a recipe for breakfast. Each student wrote their own and the best was selected to be prepared in the kitchen. This activity had the purpose to provide useful vocabulary and instruction on writing English recipes to the students in order to increase their ability to explain it in another language. During the class the students practice their pronunciation and highlighted the difference between similar words.

What did you have for lunch yesterday?

This activity was addressed to the apprentices of "Técnico en producción artesanal" ficha 512217 In Inpec San Gil. The aim of this activity was to encourage apprentices to talk about food and to use the simple past tense to talk about what they had for lunch the day before.

Since the first time I met them I realized that they loved drawing and that they were really good at it so I asked them to draw the food they have had the day before (Including breakfast-lunch-snacks-dinner and their favourite food). Afterwards they showed their drawings and told the rest of the class what they had had for luch the day before.

Guess Who

This activity was addressed to the apprentices of Tc en Panificación, ficha 683358 in SENA San Juan de Dios. The aimed competence to be developed was "Comprender textos en inglés de forma escrita y oral".
The aim of this activity was to galvanize apprentices into asking yes/no questions in order to guess the character of the other team. The group was randomly split into two teams, then each team secretly chose a character about who they knew personal information. Afterwards teams started to ask each other specific information of the other team's character so as to be able to correctly guess the character of the rival team.
