MATCH THE WORDS

There are some combination of words we can learn and keep in our minds if we have some time to play with them. A very good activity is to prepare some cards in different colours for verbs and nouns, mix them, and give a set of these cards to each pair of students. Give them some time to match the cards. The ones to finish first start the reading.

Example:


read the newspaper
listen to the radio
answer the telephone
ask a question
sing a song
tell a story
play cards
write a letter
watch television

Just use your imagination. Combine the words you are working and remember...

HAVE FUN!!!!

Winter in Scotland

The holiday winter season is over. But back to school we can enjoy the winter time with lots of funny activities and involve the students in a warm environment. Although it is snowing outside, a very hot cup of tea and some games inside can make the season remarkable.

Enjoy and have fun!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

WRITING SENTENCES

New Year has just started and here I am with lots of perspectives of a very good refreshment to start the term with innovative ideas, , reflecting about methodology and trying different approaches.

I would like to spend more time in reading and writing with my students, and for the first day of classroom, and all the excitement about Christmas time, presents, trips, holiday abroad, the kids want to spread the good news. So, using the topic, I believe it is a good idea to write about it.

Notes:

Use: and, then, because, of, for...

Ask: who, when, what, why, where, how...

Think: make up the story in your mind...

Write at least 3 very good sentences.

Ex:

"Long time ago, my uncle and I went to the store. My uncle bought a bike for me, because I wanted it."

It was written by Gvidas, P2.

A LITTLE OF SUNSHINE

JUST A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO REMEMBER!!

CHRISTMAS SEASON

Time flies!

My holiday is from 21st of December to the 7th of January.

Probably, I should bring the balance of this year, which has brought to my life, new experiences, new jobs, new friends.

An ESOL project has been developed, and the classes are going to be delivered next year.

I am very excited and I am looking forward to next year.

I have to declare:

I have had time for myself,
I have shared,
I have laughed,
I have cried,
I have dreamed,
I have faced some obstacles,
I have skipped them,
I have made friends,
I have had time for the old ones,
I have helped who I can,
I have lived,
In Jesus name. Amem

MERRY CHRISTMAS..........HAPPY NEW YEAR.......

PORTUGUESE FOR FOREIGNERS

My experience in teaching Portuguese is basically zero. But, for the first time, I had a chance to prepare a lesson for beginners in Portuguese for a ten-minute presentation. Of course, I did some research on the Internet, and I also went to the library to check the material available in the area. Very interesting! I found quite a lot. In fact, nothing that made my eyes shine. I see, the approaches are basically based on translation, especially for beginners, and, some of them are very difficult, because they are based on the previous knowledge of the language, which meant to be Portuguese for Hispanic. So, I have decided for something new and based on my background knowledge in ESOL, I prepared the lesson. UNIDADE 1 1-Texto Oi, meu nome e’ Suzel, tenho 46 anos e sou Brasileira.
