June “Environmental Week!”

Hey Guys! June started with the “Environmental Week!” at INPEC San Gil. During this week different students shared a great time with their classmates and teachers of SENA. We played a five-a-side football Tournament where 11 teams were part of it, although only 2 of won it, everybody was fulfilled. The gifts were cleaning sets. People learned about “How to care the world” and what they can do to care it.  It was a really great time and we all had fun and learned with the “Environmental Week!”

Another one please… - Ok, no problem

Students of Mantenimiento Equipos de Computo of San José de Suaita are doing speaking exercises about personal questions. The purpose is to make a whole group activity. At the beginning we practice pronunciation and how to give a correct answer to those questions. Then, students made flash cards for each one of the question but only with a key word. E.g. If the question is How old are you? The key word would be old.  Then SS’ make two circles one inside the other one. Next, they have to be face to face with a partner and start asking questions each other. When the teacher says “move” students from outside move to the right. The objective is to talk with everybody & remember the questions by reading a key word.

Understanding your favourite song.

Students from "diseño de productos industriales" ficha 332626 from San Gil analizing their favourites songs. In this activity they get to identify known words and learn new vocabulary from a song they choose, then they have to explain to the class what is the singer or compositor trying to say in the song, sometimes they have to infer it.  Picture and text by Willy Paul Wandurraga.

Playing Simon says...

During this activity Students were taught different parts of their bodies by playing a game called “Simon says…” This game consists of ordering students to touch a part of their bodies named by the teacher in English. The idea is to keep your eyes closed while the game is being developed. The student who gets right the most wins the game.

After reviewing this set of vocabulary students were ready to describe one character physically and say what he/she often, usually or never does. This activity was previously developed in other classes so that students were well-prepared for their presentations.  

Classroom interaction!

Logic games such as geometric puzzles were used to teach Graphic Design students in Socorro, how to provide with meaning a simple pattern consisting of seven geometric flat shapes. This is called "Tangram" and students were all participating in a creative lesson, as well as inviting other classes to join their graphic experiences and practicing engllish descriptions with them.
