TEACHING ACADEMIC WRITING AT UDELAS THROUGH THE CAROUSEL STRATEGY

The Carousel Strategy is a helpful way to teach a topic. First of all, you need to provide students with cardboard and markets. You fix the cardboard on the wall with the titles that you want they complete with information about the theme.

Ask them to form groups of three or four students. After that, they have to read the material provided by the teacher concerned with The Writing Process.Then, they are located in front of each cardboard as you can see on the pictures and they have to write a sentence related to the asked data. After one minute, they have to move to the another cardboard and they write something about the title. At the end, they have to write on each cardboard without repeating the data.

Finally, the teacher reads the sentences correcting spelling and grammar mistakes with students.

FATHERS`DAY POEM By YAMILETH URRIOLA de HERNÁNDEZ

This poem was created to teach my students in celebration of Father's Day. I hope it can be helpful for you...

Father's Day

Fathers are special

to children at home

fathers are heroes

to daughters and sons.

*******************

They take care of families

they support their needs

and they are always able

to love their kids.

LEARNING ENGLISH DIGITALLY

Teaching English applying technology is a wonderful experience that children enjoy a lot. When they are at the computer lab, they are asked to sing songs, dance and play interactive games surfing English sites for ESL so they can learn effectively.

TEACHING COLORS THROUGH SONGS

I love this song. Children like singing it during my English classes. It is easy and fun for kids. You can teach colors in context because students can identify colors through pictures. Those are first graders at Las Barreras Elementary School.
