People
usually think that teaching is easy: you just stand up in front of students and
talk. But is it really so simple? Do you think YOU could become good teachers?
Let’s have a try!
In the
following days you will have to prepare a FULL LESSON. Not a simple power point
or 10 minutes oral speech... a full real class, 50 minutes explaing a topic,
giving examples and solving doubts. Wow! That’s a real challenge! J
Some questions from this activity will be part of the
next exam so take it seriously and pay attention to all
your partner’s explanations!
Task 1: Prepare a complete lesson plan (individually or in groups of maximun 4 people) about ONE of the following territories from the Iberian Península:
- Asturias (Tips from auladeadriana
& lesson plann)
- León and Castilla (Tips from auladeadriana
& lesson plann)
- Navarra (Video & Lesson plann)
- Cataluña and Aragón (Video of Aragón
& Lesson plann)
- Al Andalus (Tips from auladeadriana
& lesson plann)
No matter
the chosen kingdom, all research would have to include the same items, so none will be shorter or easier than other:
-
Historical review (yes, you can
use my theoretical notes, the useful videos provided at class or search from
your onw sources)
-
Map of the kingdom and its maximun
peak
-
Main character (portrait, bio and
main events)
-
Art: comment of a masterpiece
-
Comment of an historical text
- Activities for your “students”
In case
you decide to include videos (in
English) to help you or to illustrate your lesson, the maximun total lenght
would be 10 minutes.
When finished, send all the materials created to acarriles@educa.jcyl.es. Remember that, if the files are too big or heavy for an email, you can use wetransfer.com (free, easy and safe). The deadline for this will be Friday 13 January.
We will
dedicate several hours at class but it will be necessary to work at home to finish
a complete, properly developed lesson and practice it.
Task 2: Turn yourself into teachers!
As usual ALL members of the team MUST speak (and it will be NOT just reading
from the screen but to be self-confident enough to TEACH).
This
activity is mandatory and you will receive a mark for it; collaboration between
menbers and teamwork would be also taken into consideration. If you fail to do
it, do it out of time or just copy&paste from internet, you will receive a
0.
Ready?
Steady?... GO!
