June 26th

During this class, we had the chance to present our second project. It was a very interesting class since we could see our classmates’ ideas. In this project we were supposed to use moviemaker, storybuilder and storybird.
Each group presented its job and to our surprise more than two groups chose target contents related to the protection of the environment and natural resources misuse. Odette and I worked with that topic too. We were the last group to present. Even though we had some technical issues we ended up feeling happy with our presentation and the project´s results. Here is a summary of the presentations gave by our classmates:
Name of the presenter: Steven, David and Sebastian
Subject: Careers, jobs and lifestyles / listening and Speaking
Comment: to teach culture in this topic, ask students what they relatives do for living. Since some parents are in the United States, students can relate what they do there to what other parents do in Costa Rica. Values are also encouraged with this topic like working hard and being honest and responsible.
Name of the presenter: Allan, Angelica and Maria
Subject: Natural Resources 9th grade. The focus on writing
Comment: These activities were carried out to work on student’s creativity.
Name of the presenter: Stephanie and Liz
Subject: Tourist attractions for 10th level. This group focuses on writing.
Comment: They presented very creative activities. Visitors come to CR to live nature; some of us do not appreciate our natural resources, so it is important to encourage our students to protect and love nature.
Name of the presenter: Luis and Monica
Subject: Tourist attractions for 10th level. They focus on Speaking.
Comment: They wanted us to participate so they asked us to create an itinerary to enjoy Costa Rican’s nature and promote values and patriotism. This kind of activity teaches students values and respect for nature.
That day we learned that technology is a very good tool to work with, but that we must be careful. When using technology is better to prove the equipment and Internet connection first; it is also a good idea to have a backup plan. Here is the link to our presentation.
