Teaching unit

It's been so long since I last posted anything in my blog!
Lots of things have happened. I’ve been ill… and I have already finished my “Unitat didàctica”!

After observing the results of the survey I decided to choose some of their favourite songs and build my teaching unit from there.
I thought there should be different songs because the students were already used to work with different songs on each session. So, if I wanted to work consciously with only one song, they might get bored and lose motivation and attention.

I organised the teaching unit as follows:
  • Session 1: Work with a small group of three students. They would choose a song and prepare activities for one session.
  • Session 2: Umbrella by Rihanna.
  • Session 3: Umbrella by Rihanna.
  • Session 4: Zombie by The Cranberries.
  • Session 5: Stan by Eminem. Worksheet available on http://wizard.4teachers.org/worksheet/view.php?id=110645&page=1
  • Session 6: Assessment, watching some videos I have recorded during the term. It was the last day of the term.

More details will be given, but for the moment, I just wanted to say that the most important moment for me was the last day. We had finished the lesson and then Núria asked them which mark they would give me as a teacher. The majority of them said: “Excellent!”
That’s my best acknowledgement!
